I have a binary install of 5.0beta8 installed to
/usr/local/grass-5.0b on a Debian potato linux box.
This directory is not writable (except by root). I
just tried to run r.watershed and it failed with the
following message:
SECTION 1 beginning: Initiating Variables. 6 sections
total
segments in row: 622
segments in columns: 277
total segments: 172294
open segments: 213
WARNING: No such file or directory
WARNING: seg_open(): could not write segment file
ERROR: <</usr/local/grass-5.0b/etc/water/seg

ba="basins" ac="flowacc" se="streams"
ha="halfbasin" di="flowdisp"
S="steepness" r=0 ms=150>> command line failed
It appears that it tried to write into /usr . Do I
need to move the grass binaries to a directory where
it can write to itself?
g.manual also fails due to a permission problem. Is
this related?
Thanks for any help you can give

No usually they are working in the database directory.
(I assume that you have started grass correctly with the main
grass5 script.)

I don't think so.
Try to set the PAGER variable to something useful and try g.manual
again.
