Brandon;
Thanks for your advice. One should also note that gnatsdb is created as part
of the mkdb process. (This isn't very clearly stated in the "Installing the
default database) documentation.) As a result, the directory com, wherever you
put it (I have it at /usr/local/com) should be writeable by gnats, since mkdb
is supposed to be used to create database(s) while in ~/com.
I'm getting another error, however---
dezolt% ./mkdb default
Copying default files from /usr/local/etc/gnats/defaults
cp: cannot access /usr/local/etc/gnats/defaults/categories
Can't copy file /usr/local/etc/gnats/defaults/categories to
/usr/local/com/gnatsdb/gnats-adm/categories, exiting
dezolt%
I am going to assume, forthe moment, that can grab a copy of and adjust my
categories file from my build of gnats 3.113 and adjust to suit. In the
meantime, any suggestions on how to fix the abovementioned error would be
appreciated.

You should have a line like
default:Bug database:/usr/local/com/gnatsdb
in /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases.
