Running on x86_64 Opensuse 11.0RC1

I cannot get pdflatex to run

xenakis:~/BOENN/composition/papers/trunk/asp 113> pdflatex anton.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
fmtutil: format directory `/var/lib/texmf/web2c' is not writable.
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!
xenakis:~/BOENN/composition/papers/trunk/asp 113>

I tried running the same as root in case it needed to create fonts from 
metafont

Is this a bug or have I failed to load some package
As ever this is running X with fvwm; no KDE, no GNOME
