   I know the password for the "mbse" user; the issue is trying to get the   
   "make install" going.   
      
      
   From the "INSTALL.in" file:   
      
   cd   
   tar xfvj /pathtopackage/@PACKAGE@-@VERSION@.tar.bz2   
   cd @PACKAGE@-@VERSION@   
   ./configure   
   make   
   su   
   [type rootpassword]   
   make install   
   exit   
   @prefix@/bin/mbtask   
   ---------------------------------------------   
      
   I've done the "./configure" and "make" but it's beyond that's giving me   
   grief.  If I use "su", I become root; the "make install" process then   
   complains that I'm not the "mbse" user.
