I'm trying to get devel/arduino working.[snip]
I shouldn't work 13 hour days. Now I've had some sleep, I've spotted
what I missed last night. The underlying code from comms/rxtx is trying
to create a lock file in /var/spool/lock and that is only writeable by
user uucp and group dialer. Given that I have absolutely no serial
devices (or ports) on this box apart from the Arduino when it's plugged
in, can anyone see any problems with making the lock directory world
writeable?
Simply add your user (or the account the program is running
under) to the "dialer" group. This has been a common method
to allow users to access dialing programs (which were reserved
for root use without this group addition).
This is also mentioned when the Arduino port is installed:
To allow serial port locking, add your user to the dialer group:
pw usermod myuser -G dialer
