Hi Bruce,

I'm wondering what the difference is between my username and root. I have 
administrative privileges on my computer. Also, would you know how to 
login as root and fix or set the privileges I need?

Thanks,

Hi Bruce,

I tried deleting the gislock file- but that did not solve the problem.

I have seen this problem before too. There is a file called '.gislock' 
that GRASS uses to limit the user to one session. If for some reason the 
file is left over from the last session, either becuase it crashed last 
time, or file permissions are different, GRASS will not run. You need to 
have correct file permissions for the file 
/usr/local/share/grassdata/spearfish60/user1/.gislock, just try to delete 
first. You should be able to login as root on cygwin and delete. Try GRASS 
again as yourself, and as root if you need to. It might be that you also 
need permissions for your user name here too. You can fix that when you 
are logged in as root too. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I've just installed GRASS 6.0 on a Windows XP operating system. Everything 

works fine until I go to the GRASS6.0.bat- select my Spearfish data set. 
Then, GRASS just waits a while and then I get the following error message:

//usr/local/share/grassdata/spearfish60/user1/.gislock: Permission denied
ERROR: /usr/local/grass6.0.cvs-i686-pc-cygwin-16_02_2005/etc/lock:
notoole is currently running GRASS in selected mapset. Concurrent use not 
allowed.

 and then GRASS6.0 closes. Any ideas on what might be the problem, or a 
solution to this problem?

Thanks,

Natalie
