Sjoerd, I used the monetdb-install.sh all-in-one script downloaded from monetdb.cwi.nl/..../Builds/index.html Note: I have to edit the script on line 331 from fetch-cvs to fetch_cvs and run it as su to get MonetDB installed. Server works fine as when I login to su. As user I get this error: !FATAL: GDKlockHome: Database lock '.gdk_lock' denied
Assuming you're using a recent RPM, then what the RPM does is create a group called monet. Add yourself to this group, logout and log back in, then you can use mserver5 as yourself.
I have no monet group: $ groups Richard root bin daemon sys adm disk lp mem kmem mail news man floppy games slocate rpcuser gopher rpc netdump rpm ntp dip gdm mailnull ftp smmsp lock pegasus haldaemon sshd pcap dbus nobody nfsnobody Should I groupadd monet? Thanks a lot for your efforts. On Wed, 2008-01-16 at 21:29 +0100, Sjoerd Mullender wrote:

What version? How did you install?

Alternatively, you can start mserver5 with some extra options to specify where it should store the data: --dbfarm=/some/directory/you/own --set sql_logdir=/some/other/directory/you/own
