Hello all.


I have downloaded and installed X-CD-Roast from the Ubuntu software
Center. On clicking the icon, I get the following message in a small window:


"No root configuration file found or not readable!

The Superuser must start and configure X-CD-Roast first before other
users can use it"


So I activated a terminal:


david at DJB-P4:/usr/bin$ ls -l ./xcdroast

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 702152 2009-04-08 08:18 ./xcdroast


Then:

david at DJB-P4:/usr/bin$  ./xcdroast


And got the same message as above.


Then tried the following:-

david at DJB-P4:/usr/bin$ sudo ./xcdroast

[sudo] password for david:


Then got the message below:-

** (xcdroast:6300): WARNING **: Failed to access cdrecord. Please check
the permissions and ownership of /usr/bin/cdrecord


Checking /usr/bin/cdrecord:-

david at DJB-P4:/usr/bin$ ls -l /usr/bin/cdrecord
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 2009-11-06 18:39 /usr/bin/cdrecord -> wodim


Then checking wodim:


david at DJB-P4:/usr/bin$ ls -l ./wodim
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 395784 2009-10-03 08:14 ./wodim


I cannot get past this point and cannot see what is wrong with the
permissions or ownership.


Can anybody help?


Thanks
