The saga continues...
Thanks for the "env" command. I learned a lot there.
One thing was that the path for root doesn't specifically state /root.
The other was my path was all possible variations on usr/local/bin &
sbin, and nothing else.
Typing "which arachne" just got me the message: no arachne in that
complete path above.
For Glenn: Typing cd /arachne from root got: No such file or directory.

Well, I could see it was there, (all over the place) so I assumed it
had installed itself in the wrong place when I took MC's default
suggestion: Unzip to subdirectory, so I decided to try to remove it
and re-install.
Removal took 35 minutes. Every time I thought I had got the last of
the little bastards I searched for more variations on arachne* and
more showed up. :(
Seriously, deltree PYGMY07 would have taken 1 min tops and reinstall
another 7 min tops. Linuxlovers have brainwashed themselves into
thinking this is good stuff. There has to be a better way !
I re-unzipped with mc, this time electing to unzip to the current
directory. (root) Then I found the "install" command in the arcn166b
subdir and hit on it. It went exactly as before, and I saw where it
had found the necessary libraries and where it changed the ownership
of arachne-svgalib. I took all the suggested defaults.
Finally, I typed arachne (exactly as suggested with no leading "./")
and got this message:
/usr/bin/arachne:Line 7 188 illegal instruction /usr/bin/arachne-svgalib$*
Repeated attempts just changed the 188 to 192 then 194 ....
Any ideas ? I'm not installing RedHat. <G>
