Hi,
Which distribution of Linux are you running ??
root must exist.
just say:
prompt> su
enter root password
you are now root.
do your stuff
exit from root, back to normal user.
You are mixing up the bourne shell (Bash)
and the C shell (csh)
in csh you would say setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib"
in bash you would say export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
note the = sign
hope this helps.
regards,
andrew
