drwxr-xr-t   2 root      wheel       68 Apr  9 21:25 lock

Still a no-go.

I did the chmod, I even did a ./configure then a make and a sudo make install then the chmod but it still didn't work. There is no directory under var

Yea, give that a shot.  Create it as root:

   cd /var
   su
   mkdir lock
   chmod 1775 lock
   exit # (from root)

The reason for the chmod command is that the sticky bit should be
set.  At least that's how it is on my Linux box here:

   drwxrwxr-t  5 root  uucp  4096 2008-04-09 16:06 lock
