Eric,
Thanks, but I tried that, along with running it as root. The lock command
was crashing even when tested in isolation. After getting corrupted HTTP
downloads of binaries and source from Bayor, I used FTP for the binary and had
then this problem. On the chance that it was another download problem, I did
another download from Hannover. Same problem.
If it is working for you, what kernel and glibc versions are you running?
I apparently still have libc5.on the 2.2.7 kernel. Time to update and or
compile.
Thanks again
Jim

Awhile back, I downloaded a binary tarball that unpacked with all kinds
of funky user/group permissions. I think I got it from baylor. Anyway,
distribution tarballs shouldn't preserve owner/group (as this one did)
and may be the source of your problem? Anyway, "chown -R root.staff
/usr/local/grass5.0beta5" should fix it (substitute appropriate
ownership for your setup).

I'm using Debian's unreleased Potato distribution with kernel 2.2.14,
glibc2.1.2 (libc6). Beta5 compiled flawlessly ( a few warnings about
casts) using gcc-2.95. Only thing I've yet to get working is NVIZ2.2.
Seems to be real picky about your Tcl/Tk installation. I get errors
about undefined reference to Tcl_Panic. Haven't been using it
extensively, so I can't comment on undiscovered bugs.

Aha! This was the message clearing the problem!!
As you use libc5 you cannot use the precompiled GRASS binaries.
All Linux binaries are based on libc6.
Solution: Either upgrade you system to libc6
or compile the GRASS locally.
