Linux problem

**DJ Ms. White** · 10-05-11, 04:26 PM

The main reason is that I need to run Root.

I think the problem was that I had multiple desktops selected. I just did a reinstall with only 1 selected, and it works! Yippe!

you need to run a program called "Root" or run the whole gamut as "root" (as in the root user)?

my *nix is a bit rusty, plus I generally stay in the console realm of that world, but if I remember correctly, X (and subsequent X related stuff...WM's, etc) doesn't typically like to be run as the root user (if that is/was the case this go-round).

and to toss my card in the hat to the previous jab...your problem is that it's not FreeBSD

but all seems well, so disregard if need be.

Program called root.ROOT | A Data Analysis Framework

Hmmm...is there a distro of Chrome for Redhat? If not, should I use Firefox, or is there a distro from another version of Linux that will work with Redhat?

Installing ROOT from Source | ROOT
Currently trying to follow those directions. Any clue on why the "./configure" isn't working? Is there an equivalent command for Redhat?

There is Google Chrome - Get a fast new browser. For PC, Mac, and Linux

Or Install Google Chrome with YUM on Fedora 15/14, CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL) 6

Firefox is fine I use it in a unix environment...(No Chrome/Chromium for FreeBSD)

Are you in the correct directory?

pwd to print working directory
cd to change directory
'configure' is usually a script that gets unpacked to the directory after unpacking the tar.gz
