I think there are basically 2 problems here:

a) a permission problem with the yaml files created by FR. If you first 
run as root they are first created with root permission. Then when you 
run with your normal login FR tries to rewrite them and fails to do so 
because you don't have write permission on those files. A fix has just 
been committed in the CVS tree causing all the YAML and log files to be 
creqted under $HOME/.freeride for Linux users and %USERPROFILE%/freeride 
for Windows users.
Another zork around is to make a chmod 666 on all yaml and log files for 
now.

b) The second problem is about loading the parser. This is probably due 
to the fqct thqt your Ruby architecture is different from i686-linux. 
TRy the following

ruby -e 'p RUBY_PLATFORM'

look at the value and then create a symlink in freeride/redist from this 
vqlue to i686-linux

Hope this helps
