Thanks for your help. But I'm afraid I'm still having problem ... or question
Please see note below.

Unfortunately, I'm not root and can't get root on this box.

I did re-run configure. But I've even wipe out the source tree and re-extracted
the tar files. Same problem.

What confuses me is that I did NOT have this problem the first time I extract the
tar source
Also, the doc. seems to suggest that I can change "mts.conf" to change the locking
behavior. But it seems like I have to change "config.h" and recompile.
Is this right?
