He finally got it installed (somehow, apparently not by yum) and who knows which version or whether the right dependencies but he has confirmed that it is not only installed but also running and he can indeed open it with firefox but he can't authenticate as root. Perhaps again, if you had followed the thread as you admitted you hadn't, you would have realized all of that. Therefore, your supposition that he can't see localhost:631 is entirely wrong. He can connect. Therefore, your entry into this thread was ill-conceived since you didn't want to do the back reading. As for trimming, I have judiciously trimmed my replies in almost all cases.
