Check owners and permissions on various directories - if sudo fixed it then
it's a permission problem

The reason it doesn't work on root is root probably doesn't have the correct
path(s).

  I am trying to get predict going on an eeepc.

  I have it installed, but every time I run it, it keeps asking for QTH and
lat lon and height.

  It then drops back to a command prompt.

  I have looked at the permissions on /root/.predict and set to 777

  It is almost like it is having trouble writting or reading and bombing out

  Ideas ?

  I have gpredict running.
