This is all a bit odd. I installed SO5.2 way back from the SuSE 7.1 distro (which put it in /opt). I had no trouble bringing it it up subsequently, under both my superuser and regular accounts. It works like a charm. (Well, it aint exactly a winner for speed, but it gets the job done.) Maybe you should try the SuSE rpm? (Schlomo Schapiro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> should have it on his ftp site.)
