I installed according to instruction latest GT.M release version 6.0-000_linux_i686_pro.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sanchez-gtm.

Before instalation I set $gtm_log then went through innstalation. Afterwards I set $gtm_dist and added to the PATH I set $gtmroutines

I started gtm from parent directory and I was trying to create default Global Directory.

GTM>d ^GDE
%GDE-I-GDUSEDEFS, Using defaults for Global Directory
/usr/lib/mumps.gld

When using exit command I get this error:

GDE> exit
%GDE-I-VERIFY, Verification OK

%GDE-I-GDCREATE, Creating Global Directory file
/usr/lib/mumps.gld
%GDE-I-WRITEERROR, Cannot exit because of write failure.  Reason for failure:    
13,GDEPUT+48^GDEPUT,%SYSTEM-E-ENO13, Permission denied

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

    You should set $gtmgbldir before creating the default Global Directory.

    For example, export gtmgbldir="~/mumps.gld" will result in the Global Directory (and by default, the database file as well) being created in your user’s home directory, which is a probably better idea than creating them in /usr/lib/.

    You should also have a look at the file $gtm_dist/gtmprofile. It can be sourced to create a default environment perfect for learning, but it is also a good source of information to learn which environment variables need/can be defined to what effect.
