Dear Mr. Becker, Bruce, you did it! Thank you so such! I looked at the output from "env" for "su" versus "su -" and one of the most notable differences is USER not set to root for "su".
So with that problem resolved I repeated the whole OSCAR install process but this time as "su -" and everything worked all the way through "Test Cluster Setup" (step 8) of the OSCAR wizard!!! Now I can get on to the task of installing and using POV-Ray as described in "Linux Journal". This is so exciting! Have a great weekend!
