--- Begin Message ---Hi, You need to setup the modules path to a place you have write permission to, and set the MODULE_LOC env variable accordingly. Or else, file a bug on the module package for not using the ROOR_CMD env variable to become root. On my machine, /usr is mounted ro, so this run-as-root solution ill not work in such cases. manoj -- A man who fishes for marlin in ponds will put his money in Etruscan bonds.
