hi:

when i try to get a completely new copy of the cvs repository (e.g. by
typing "cvs co ."), some files copy over to my directory, but,
eventually, i get the following error message:

cvs checkout: Updating exp/t20/edel/figs
cvs checkout: failed to create lock directory for
`/home/blast/cvsroot/exp/t20/edel/figs'
(/home/blast/cvsroot/exp/t20/edel/figs/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs checkout: failed to obtain dir lock in repository
`/home/blast/cvsroot/exp/t20/edel/figs'
cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

any ideas?

p.s. this is a problem that i know various other people have run into in
the past. if someone (i.e. probably chris) knows how to fix it, can you
send out an e-mail explaining in non-expert detail how to fix it?
something to do with removing lock files or whatnot...
