In case some other newbie runs into same problem here's one possible solution: Check the permissions on / (ls -ld /) You'll prolly find that the permissions are not set for "other" read and execute. Do a 'chmod 755 /' and see if that helps. This worked for me. Above was a reply to question posted by someone who installed new program, and during instalation permissions got changed somehow. Artur
