Weird, i can run it as a non-root user, just not root. I did some Bugzilla scanning and found this: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86177 The creation of /etc/rpm/macro with the suggested line, fixed my issue. However, i will note for the record that this install of FC1 has the following: $uname -a Linux nomad 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl #1 Wed Oct 29 15:42:51 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $rpm -qa | grep glibc 106:glibc-common-2.3.2-101 169:glibc-debug-2.3.2-101 238:glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.36 394:glibc-2.3.2-101 959:glibc-headers-2.3.2-101 1089:glibc-devel-2.3.2-101 1398:glibc-utils-2.3.2-101 1495:glibc-profile-2.3.2-101 Though i am unsure if these are built against NPTL as suggested in the Bugzilla report. Can anyone tell me if these are built against NPTL or not? Thanks in advance. -- On Sun, 2003-11-09 at 11:09, Michael Weiner wrote: > I am running this all as root, thats whats so strange.
