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.
