Dear Prakash,
The problem comes down to why magic is reporting that
it cannot find "/flock"; e.g., it appears to be looking for
it in the system root directory.
I looked through the magic code, and I have found what
must be the error. In utils/flock.c, line 148 is
sprintf(lock_buf, "%s/flock", cad_buf);
but should be:
sprintf(lock_buf, "%s/flock", cad_path);
Likewise, line 164 should be changed from
sprintf(lock_buf, "%s/flock/lock_%u%u", cad_buf,
to
sprintf(lock_buf, "%s/flock/lock_%u%u", cad_path,
Otherwise, if the CAD_HOME environment variable is set, then cad_buf
remains empty, and the result is that lock_buf becomes "/flock"
(or worse, since cad_buf was never explicitly initialized).
You can make these changes by hand and recompile. I will update
the CVS source distribution with the changes immediately.
---Tim
