Hi,
sometime ago I downloaded the rkhunter-1.4.4 tarball from SourceForge
and installed it on openSuse leap 15.0.  I usually extract it in the 
downloads folder and install it from there, using the command
#./installer.sh --install  But a whim hit me, and I moved the extracted
file to /home/myhome/rkhunter and installed it from there.  It worked 
fine, no problems.

Recently I downloaded the rkhunter-1.4.6 tarball from SourceForge and
installed it on the same computer.  I extracted it in the downloads 
folder, and as was my usual custom I installed it from there forgetting
that I had installed rkhunter-1.4.4 from a different folder.  It seemed
to install normally, without problems.  But now it won't run.
Here is what happens:

linux-2b8:/home/lx1/Downloads/rkhunter-1.4.6 # ./installer.sh --install

Checking system for:
 Rootkit Hunter installer files: found
 A web file download command: wget found
Starting installation:
 Checking installation directory "/usr/local": it exists and is
writable.

Installation complete
linux-2b8:/home/lx1/Downloads/rkhunter-1.4.6 # rkhunter --propupd
If 'rkhunter' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the
package that contains it, like this:
    cnf rkhunter

I have tried removing all rkhunter files on the computer and
reinstalling rkhunter-1.4.6.  That didn't fix the problem. 
I also tried downloading the tarball a second time after 
clearing the computer of all rkhunter files, 
then extracting, and reinstalling.  But I still have the same 
result.

Anyone have an idea why this isn't working now, and how I can 
fix it?

Thanks,
Mark
