v.in.arc on GRASS4.1beta

When using this command we get the following message:

v.in.arc type=line lines_in=okla.try vector_out=okcounties
v.in.arc: Coverage type = line
Cannot find ARC/INFO lines file <okla.try>

Make sure that your lines file is in a directory called /arc in your
current mapset, and that you are calling v.in.arc from within that
directory.
