gksu, rox question

didn't know where else to put this...

I have gksu installed, but get the famous,

$ gksu: command not found

I have been enjoying the rox filer recently, and would
like to launch root windows every now and then.  I
thought I'd try "gksu rox," but, no deal.

Any suggestions?

Re: gksu, rox question

[tyler@eLINUXe ~]$ whereis gksu
gksu: /etc/gksu.conf /opt/gnome/bin/gksu

do you have /opt/gnome/bin/ in your $PATH? (echo $PATH)
if not do:

 export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin/

if not do:

 export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin/

I didn't have it in my path, do now, got

gksu: error while loading shared libraries: libgksu1.2.so.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

thought for a second I didn't have that lib, but do.

Hmmm

Re: gksu, rox question

I'm still having problems with rox and gksu. 

when I do

$ gksu rox

the command just exits, doing nothing.

$ gksu aterm

works as expected.

Any idea what might be going on?

Re: gksu, rox question

Probably has something to do with this:

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/3617

Does rox start up when just typing 'rox' or 'rox -n'???

My rox doesn't work right now either.
