Yes, in my case, the directory is writable, since this is my directory. Also note that removing mutt_dotlock isn't sufficient as Mutt uses an absolute path to mutt_dotlock. After removing mutt_dotlock from the install bin directory, I need to replace it by a new one (in my case, a symlink to the one in /usr/bin is sufficient). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> - 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn Risc PC, Yellow Pig 17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, TETRHEX, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
