Hi Dick, I was hoping someone else might reply here - I've not used any RedHat or derivative distributions for a long time. And I don't actually have fgrun on my own machine either! Having said all that, if you're really stuck and can hang on a bit, I'll see if I can knock together a few step by step instructions as best I can. It would be helpful to know which version of FG you have installed, which directory it's installed in, how you installed it, etc. The general process of installing fgrun is exactly the same as building most other programs from source - basically, extract the source somewhere with "tar -xzvf programname.tar.gz" move into that newly created directory "cd fgrun.blah" run configure - "./configure" is often enough although you might occasionally need to supplement that with some paths run "make" run (as root) "make install" to install the program system-wide. Any more specific hints you need will require me to go and fetch the fgrun source and build it here first so I can remind myself of any options or paths you might need to specify.
