1490.0. "dictionary install problem?" by NAC::ENGLAND () Thu Sep 12 1991 13:49

    I installed MCC/ULTRIX and got this error when I tried to put the
    dictionary somewhere other than the default location.
    Will try reinstalling with the default location, see if that works
    better.  I heard the dictionary was humongous, that's why I did it.
    The directory definitely exists and I was running from root, so it's
    not a protection problem.  At a minimum, you don't want the
    installation to continue if you can't install the dictionary, right?
    There is 101 megabytes free on /users so this ain't the problem either.

        Starting DECmcc dictionary installation . . .
    
        This installation allows the data dictionary to be located on a
    separate
        partition or file area. You may choose the default area, /usr, or
    an
        area of your choice.
    
        The recommendation for new installations is to choose the default
    area.

    By the way, I re-installed MCC and chose the default on the dictionary
    question, it now works, but the dictionary wound up in the directory
    which I originally specified on the first try, /users/england/mcc/  .
