Hi Nicolas and Susana,

Thanks for the reply and the clarification. However, even with root 
5.14 installed I am getting the same error on running benchmark.mac as 
I had with 5.18

The strangest thing is that Gate works fine with root disabled. I am 
going to investigate further.

I'd appreciate any inputs at this point. I'm working on a 64 bit linux 
machine.

Thanks again.
