        1) The message should be clear enough, namely "You should not be
        root when running ltib". 
        How to change in no-root?
      
    
    

    Weird - LTIB's test is simple enough, it looks at "$>" in perl
    which is the effective user id of whoever is running it, and in your
    case its zero which is the user id of root - It shouldn't be, so
    somehow you are running as root.  Did you do anything "strange' in
    the shell that you are trying to install/run LTIB?

    

    1) What is the output of "whoami"?

    

    2) What is the output of "grep guiseppe /etc/passwd" show?

    

    3) What is the output of "touch /tmp/foobar && ls -lg
    /tmp/foobar" 

    

    4) What is the output of "ls -lg ltib"?

    

    

    Try opening up a new shell, and make sure you are not root (i.e.
    whoami should *not* show root), and try installing/building LTIB
    again...
