[GRASS-user] GIS Lock issue

GRASS GRASS user

Dear List,

I am having GIS LOCK issue with a Location. Using my external storage device, I replaced the Location on my HD with a slightly older version of it (exactly the same name). However, at the start-up screen, the mapsets in this location are greyed out and I get the following message:

/Users/bulentarikan/grassdata/TR_WGS84_37N/Tiles/.gislock: Permission denied
ERROR: /Applications/GRASS_6.5/GRASS-6.5.app/Contents/MacOS/etc/lock:
Unable to properly access /Users/bulentarikan/grassdata/TR_WGS84_37N/Tiles/.gislock
Please notify system personel.
logout

I did a seach and saw several suggestions for Win users. I am running GRASS 6.5 svn (2011) on Mac OS 10.6.7 (Snow Leopard)

Thank you!

Hello,
check file/directory ownership and permissions.
Also, if location/mapset is not in use, You can safely delete .gislock
file to remove the lock.
