hi guys!
I have the famous problem of  "another instance already running" after a crash by my pc... but... i don't have any mulelock file, or .lock or .pid file locking amuled in "/home/{username}/.aMule/" directory.
It starts whitout problems as root, but i'm not able to let it starts as user.
I'm using Slackware and the pre-compiled 2.2.1 from slacky.eu.
any ideas?
thanks for your effort

If you move the .aMule directory to .aMule-old, does the problem persist as user?

For me it's helpful to remove .aMule/ED2KLinks_lock

yes, the problem is the same.  i even tried to move /home/{user}/.aMule to /home/{user}/amuleold and copy /root/.aMule to /home/{user}/.aMule  (changing group and owner of course)... nothing to do... the same error...
it seems like amule is lookin to a lock file somewhere that i can't find...

i even removed ED2KLinks_lock...

Are you by chance very low on disk space and use a file system like ext3?
