- Hi,
-
- I compiled elm succesfully on a RS6000. BUt when I tried running it I got
- the message "Can't open lock file need write permission on /usr/spool/mail"
-
- I am not the super user and my permissions on my mail file are set to
-
- -rw-rw----
-
- I am not sure whetherI can be granted write permission on this file or not.
- I was just wondering whether there is any other way to fix this.
