Yes, I had the same problem. The issue is
this: Let's say that you log in as "jason". When you "su" to root,
you're bringing "jason"s environment with you, so you're the root user in
jason's environment. The path is different, so you don't see those
programs that you want to run.

That should be:
Are you using "su" or "su -"?
The former will retain your "environment" while the later will give
you root's "environment". I suspect you were using the former.

Hi Jason:
Are you using "su" or "su -"?
The former will etain your "environment" while the later will give
you root's "environment". I suspect you were using the former.
