When reporting problems with software you should _always_ include the version of the software, the OS and version of the OS you're using, any unusual build options, etc., and at _least_ the complete error line verbatim (please cut and paste if possible!), plus usually a few lines of pertinent context (but not a 5,000 line build log). However, there is no code in GNU make that will print such a message; indeed, there is no code in GNU make that will print any message with the word "lock" in it at all. This must be generated by some program that GNU make is invoking; maybe some program (compiler, etc.) that make uses to do its job is licensed and running multiple copies uses up too many licenses. Without seeing the actual message and the commands that preceded it there's little else I can say. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
