Unless you are converting a Gambas 2 project, you get this message if 
the IDE was unable to acquire a lock on the ".lock" file located in the 
project with the LOCK instruction (you can look at the source code if 
you want the detail).

Several possible reasons:

1) Another IDE has already opened the project and acquired the lock.

2) Maybe some right problems. If you open the project the first time as 
root, I guess the .lock file is for root only. So if you open it again 
with a normal user, the lock fails.

3) Device is full, the lock file cannot be added.

...

If I have time, I will write code to analyze the lock failure. At the 
moment, I print a message corresponding to the most common failure reason.
