Hi,
A GRASS data set was sent to me - however, I am unable to open any of the mapsets in either grass6.4 or grass7 due to the following error message:
Starting GRASS …
/GRASSsf/PERMANENT/.gislock: Permission denied
ERROR: /Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS/etc/lock: Unable to properly access /GRASSsf/PERMANENT/.gislock
I also tried to create a new mapset in the GRASSsf dataset but get this error:
Unable to create new mapset: [Errro 13] Permission denied
I tried changing permissions on .gislock, i.e.
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 jchoate staff 4 Nov 15 2013 .gislock
however - I still can not open anything.
Can anyone advise how to fix this so I can access this dataset/mapsets?
thank you,
Janet

Janet,
Did you try removing it (or, at least, renaming it to another, inocuous
name?)

Check permissions of folder containing .gislock file. Are you the
owner of that folder? Does it have rwx for your user?
If it doesn't help, please provide tested GRASS 7 version and install
method (self compiled, packages, ...).
Good luck,
Māris.
