Under FHS, /usr is reserved for the "distribution". User installed
binaries, libes, etc... go in /usr/local or /opt. Only major problem
with GRASS regarding /usr/local is the creation/deletion of lock files
which should be in /var/lock or /var/local/ or some such (I've created a
symlink in the past from /usr/local/grass5/lock =>
/var/local/grass5/lock in order for lock files to be created under /var
which is was mounted "rw", while /usr was mounted "ro" most of the time.
I now have /usr/local on a separate partition, so I don't worry about
that too much...
Hi developers,
what about changing the location of GRASS' lock files?
What about
/var/grass5/locks?

Why not /var/lock/grass or /var/lock/grass5 ? At least RH already has a
/var/lock directory for this purpose.

Thanks, Morten.
SuSe7 also has /var/lock. So I would agree to use
/var/lock/grass5

This will work also for all AT&T SVR4 compliant OS (HP-UX, OSF/1, etc.)

Using the standard autoconf options, this should be
overridable with the --localstatedir option:
--localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data in DIR [PREFIX/var]
Teaching the Gmakefiles to recognize this option,
however, may take some hacking.

As usual, nothing seems to be standard Unix. IRIX doesn't have a
/var/lock but I have no idea what to do for IRIX.
