Why wouldn't you use an rpm package build specifically for *your* SuSE distro: ftp://ftp.oxixares.com/pub/rpms/SuSE_9.2/azureus-2.2.0.2-0.gbv.1.i586.rpm

Simple, I wasnt able to find it. Thanks for the lead. Frankly, I prefer the rpm route and do the other stuff only when I have to. I had used the tarball on 9.1 without a problem but 9.2 was giving me a problem.

I've googled, gargled and giggled all I can and can only find a reference to the command xhost which when run gets me this error:

xhost: unable to open display "richdell.mojado:0.0"

I've tried it as root and user with the same results.

I suspect it has to do with the setup/config of x.org but cant find anything and I'm not smart enough to figure it out. Can anyone give me a hint?

yes, root does not have permission to use the display, "richdell.mojado:0.0". You have to give it permission.

sudo /<path-to-executable>/azureus or sux - then start azureus

I tried the sux route as well and got the same error message.

The rpm is provided by Guillermo Ballester Valor who maintains an apt repository. Please consider maintaining your SuSE system with up-to-date packages via the apt4rpm utility. http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/home.html

I have been using apt for sometime now but my sources list did not have Guillermo's repository in it. I'll keep it handy as I see he has quite a few neat apps available. Thanks again for the help. Richard
