error testing lock file creation

[rodprice 0]

I've cloned the Github Energia code, and run ant to build the code.  Now when I say "ant run" from the build directory, I get this error:

 

linux64-run:
     [exec] Stable Library
     [exec] =========================================
     [exec] check_group_uucp(): error testing lock file creation Error details:Permission deniedcheck_lock_status: No permission to create lock file.
     [exec] Native lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7please see: How can I use Lock Files with rxtx? in INSTALL
     [exec] Java lib Version   = RXTX-2.1-7
 

I'm on Arch Linux 64-bit. 

 

Doing "sudo ant run" does not show the error, unsurprisingly.  However, I am a member of the uucp group, and I am surprised that I get this error.  The reference to the  RXTX documentation doesn't shed any light on this particular problem.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

this is a pretty common problem.  Ownership of /var/lock defaults to root.root with 770 (could be 700...I forget) permissions.  You need to update them.
