rxtx cant create lockfile

[jim-perkins]

this is on Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat)

check_group_uucp(): error testing lock file creation Error details:Permission deniedcheck_lock_status: No permission to create lock file. please see: How can I use Lock Files with rxtx? in INSTALL

to be fair a lot of java programs have this issue. I think the distributions are limiting permissions to the lock directories

also I dont have this warning when running on tinycore linux

January 2019, this is still an issue. Time to look for other solutions.

That is linked to the rxtx lib. In later projects I use a serial port lib from google that works better. But as said this project is 8 Years old and not of priority for me. Just add yourself to the lock group or run elevated,.
