I have the source code, but when I tried to compile it I got the error "could not find g_canvas" or some such thing (I know it was the g_canvas.c that was the problem). Since I was in the middle of a project I couldn't wait and figure it out, so I downloaded the rpm. However, I have some time now and maybe I'll try it later today. One thing, should I compile it as root, or as user? I think I compiled zexy as root and that's why I am having the problem with permissions. Thanks again.

Did you install the the rpm? If so, i'd suggest getting the tar.gz instead from Miller's site (see http://www.pure-date.org for the URL). Untar it in your home directory. Now you'll have everything pd related in one
directory.
The executables are in the bin directory. Normally they should work. If
not,
you'll to recompile: go to the src directory, do "make clean", "configure" and finally "make". !!! Do not forget to remove the rpm.

Yeah, I tried that. I also tried loging on as root, and that didn't work either. I'll try it with an absolute path and see if that works. I
thought
this was supposed to work like in UNIX, but maybe there is a difference.
My
Red Hat book didn't show an absolute path, but it wouldn't be the first mistake I found in there. Thanks for the response.

You can compile it as a normal user. If you want realtime priority; however; you'll have to change the owner of pd to root and that you can only do as root. (for realtime priority: "chown root.root pd" + "chmod +s pd").
