No locks available on NFS mounted directory under SUSE9.0

[Yasunari Tosa]

I have a project "autofs" (NFS) mounted.   Unfortunately when I do 
"autoconf", I get

autom4te: cannot lock autom4te.cache/requests with mode 2: No locks 
available
at /usr/bin/autom4te line 1176

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57

When I move the project to the local directory, I have no problems.

OS is SUSE9.0.    On RedHat 9, 7.3, Fedora C2, I have no problems.  I 
have seen
the same error reported under SUSE 8.0 also.

Do any of you have solutions to this problem?

Thank you.
