.gislock

Hello,

I'm alittle confused as to where .gislock is being created and when ?

I am trying to run the sgi binaries from the moon ftp site. But I cannot
execute grass4.1 due to the following error.

grass4.1sg
UX:sh (GIS.sh): ERROR: /home/shelob/dunnj/Grass4.1/etc: Cannot execute
/home/shelob/dunnj/Grass4.1/etc/lock: /.gislock: Permission denied
Unable to properly access /.gislock
Please notify system personel.

Can someone tell me where I should direct $GIS.sh to look for .gislock ?

Thanks

Jeremy
