Hello,

I've installed the latest cvs version on an ubuntu hardy heron.
When I start grass at a certain mapset, it breaks because it finds ANY
.gislock that is set at any mapset in that location. Then it mentions
that concurrent use of mapsets is not allowed.

Any hint?

GRASS7 is not for "use" currently. It is only for core development at present. We are beginning a major rewrite of display drivers and raster formats. As of yesterday, many modules will no longer work. They will stay non-functional until drivers and libraries are rewritten or will be deprecated and their functionality replaced in other ways.

For use and "normal" development (module/GUI enhancement), use the GRASS 6 series. GRASS 6.4 from develbranch_6 is the current development version for GRASS 6 and is very usable. It has all current updates that are compatible with the current GRASS structure.
