I made the original post and didn't put some info in my last one.
My apologies.
I had a bit of a flash in memory about su so I searched the forum and
found it.
In PCLinuxOS you will find that su issues an alias. I don't remember
the file I had to modify, you guys will have a better idea of that.
Working from an old memory here, but su issues su- and it took me to
the root directory. Once I changed that item in whatever file it is, I
was OK.
Now when I su I stay at the same place but get root access.
Hope someone can make sense of this.

Which HOWTO did you follow? The CVS howto? If you're installing from cvs
you'll need to do these:
He must have followed the Installation notes for PCLinuxOS 2010, which are
at http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:PCLinuxOS_2010.
I went through the installation notes (that I wrote last summer, by the
way), and I found the issue. In the latest version of PCLinuxOS 2010, when
the user gets the terminal in root mode by issuing "su" followed by the root
password, the terminal ends up in the root directory instead of staying in
the directory it was in prior to issuing, "su".
So, to resolve the issue reported, the user needs to get to a terminal,
issue "su" followed by his root password, then issue "cd
/home/username/src/XASTIR/build1" substituting his own username for
'username' above. The above assumes the user created the /src/XASTIR/build1
path as instructed. Then issuing "make install" should work 'cause the
user is back in the correct directory.
I don't recall that the version of PCLinuxOS 2010 that came out last summer
behaved this way, but if it did, I missed it. I'll update the HowTo in the
wiki regardless.
