    Are you trying to run the program as root? The only environment you changed was root's. You also have a .bashrc in your user's home directory that you can use that trick with (if the user has permission to run the geant4 script, of course).

     

    If this is not the problem. Have you tried running ldconfig, then running the script? Failing that, try adding

     

    /root/geant4/lib

     

    to the end of your /etc/ld.so.conf file and then run ldconfig then see if you can run the script.

    You don't need to convert them to .wav to be listened to on any CD player. People usually convert them to .wav, because that is easier to convert to cdda tracks (for play on CD players). eRoaster will do the job fine for mp3s.

    There's this:

    and this:

    http://www.ravantivirus.com/pages/isp.php

     

    The first one is the one I hear the most about. I don't use one. The second one is strictly for mailservers, I think, just to check them coming through.

     

    You really don't need to worry so much yet about AV products for Linux as long as you follow common sense and don't go opening mail attachments as root. Although there are a couple of viruses (worms maybe?) that I know about that Linux is vulnerable to, they can't really do much harm unless you make it a habit to be reckless with your root account.

    Ok, I think I can shed a little light on question number 1, but I'm not sure at all about question number two.

     

    Code:
    ./Configure: line 369: cd: /root/geant4/source: No such file or directory/home/winn/geant4/geant4.5.2/config/scriptsgmake: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

     

    I'm assuming that you untarred this stuff in /home/winn, but the Configure file thinks it is in /root and looks for it there. This page:

     

    http://www-linux.gsi.de/~charme/hesr/simulation/software/Geant4.5.0_HOWTO.html

     

    talks about having to export some variables and/or edit the Makefile.

     

    I know absolutely nothing about GEANT, so I can be of more specific help. The site I linked to looks daunting and may not fit your exact situation, so someone may have to come along who actually knows about this software to help you. I don't think your problem is that simple, unfortunately.

    I'm a MDK user and I started with 8.1. I had a hellacious time with installing 9.1 on a two HD system. It did not install Lilo properly any of the 3 times that I installed it and I had to 'rescue' and

     

    lilo -M

     

    each time. Also, I use phoneline network cards from Linksys (HPN200SK) and trying to load the module for them causes a kernel panic every time due to ifplugd, which is not a daemon, as the name suggests, but is called by coding in the initscripts. I had to go in the initscripts and hack them to disable it. Why they would include a piece of software that is < 1.0 release with a short list of supported hardware is beyond me.

     

    The install is no longer as intuitive as 8.1 was and I never saw it give me the option for individula package selection (well, the third time, I saw it), nor did I see the option to start or to not start X at boot. Out of the box, 9.1 would not run X because of my NVidia GeForce card and luckily I had a copy of the drivers on hand. It did not install drakconf by default, even though I selected console tools, development, etc... It did not install Midnight Commander by default. The graphic depiction of diskdrake upon install looks nothing like 8.1 did and I was tricked into formatting my backup partition.

     

    Also, they still have not fixed the problem with the 2.4.x-mdk kernels not booting with Kadoka AMD MoBos with AMI BIOS and with 9.1, there was no option to install 2.2.x kernels as there was in 8.1 with F1 > alt2....only to use a 2.2.x kernel to *install* from, but it does not install the kernel.

     

    Now I'm not complaining about the cutting edge software and the potential for bugs in that...this is far more than that.

     

    For installation ease, I give it D-.

    For all-around badassity after install/hacking/tweaking, I give it an A+
