I realize this may be an Eclipse issue (they said it wasn't....) but perhaps someone here can help me with this.
I'm trying to use CVS from within Eclipse 3.xx . When I attempt to check out files I get the following message: The server reported an error while performing the "cvs checkout" command. : cvs server: warning: cannot write to history file /usr/local/cvs/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied : cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/usr/local/cvs/kwcom' (/usr/local/cvs/kwcom/#cvs.lock): Permission denied : cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/usr/local/cvs/kwcom' : cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up However, I can do file comparisons from within Eclipse. I can also check out files via WinCVS using the same login credentials and connection path. The person who put the files into CVS says he didn't make them read-only. The connection seems to be breaking within Eclipse. I'm a programmer and not an expert in these things and the SysAdmins have all left for the weekend. If anyone has had this problem I'd really appreciate the help!
