I've recently installed Jalbum 5.2 on my SUSE 9.1 laptop. I encountered some difficulty during the installation, that makes little sense to me, so I figured maybe you guys and gals could enlighten me.
I'm no expert, but Jalbum is not designed to be install or run from root. Root's environment is totally different from normal users, its path is different so it will not find the java runtime. This is intentional, the root user should not be treated as a normal user and should not be running certain applications in order to ensure the security of the system. As you noted, Jalbum installs and runs perfectly from a normal user, just as it was designed to. Your experience is not a sign of a problem, things are working exactly as they are supposed to work.
