Sam, I'm uncertain about a few things.  Mklinks shouldn't need

this is correct.  There is no install directory in your sandbox.  If
you want to do a build install, create a directory (anywhere called
anything; our convention is output in the os and install in x11), and
set the env. var. TOSTAGE to this, and mkdir the directory.  Then
run the build install.

> 2) I was running mklinks:

It looked like you weren't in your sandbox when you ran mklinks
(i.e. under menaker/v12/src generall), but you were in the backing
tree (via the 'link'), and were trying to write there, which is read-only.

Hi,
I have couple of problems with my sandbox :
/tmp_mnt/home/menaker/v12/

1) I do not have install subdirectory under 
/tmp_mnt/home/menaker/v12/link
2) I was running mklinks:

xert:>  mklinks ./

Linking directory subtree:
  From: /tmp_mnt/home/menaker/v12/link/.
  To:   /tmp_mnt/home/menaker/v12/.
