Thanks, Lerale and others who responded. In searching the archives i found the messages about being able to run as root but not as a user. I hadn't tried to run as root but that does work. I suppose that means it is a permissions issue and i should be able to figure it out from there. Of course, it would be nice if the installation would handle things like that.
