KDE k3b on FreeBSD 5.3 - Annoying bug - ideas?

[-]

Hi list,

I'm experiencing a rather annoying bug with k3b 0.11.17_1.

I run k3b as root, and whenever I start it, k3b says:

Unable to find growisofs executable
K3b uses growisofs to actually write dvds. Without growisofs you won't
be able to write dvds. Make sure to install at least version 5.10.
Solution: Install the dvd+rw-tools package.

Well...
dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8 DVD burning software

Is installed, and..

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 86348 Dec 29 04:41 /usr/local/bin/growisofs*

growisofs is there... I copied it to /usr/bin , /usr/sbin,
/usr/local/sbin, /sbin, /bin in a last attempt to unblind k3b. Didn't work.

I've uninstalled k3b, uninstalled dvd+rw, reinstalled them. nothing.
This doesn't happen if I run k3b as a regular user, but then it doesn't
even find the dvd recorder (without changing loads of stuff that is,
precisely why I run k3b as root via sudo)

So.. the file is there, this only happens as root. The dvd+rw package is
installed. What could be run? I've ran out of ideas..

Best regards

Hugo

I'm running 0.11.17 and growisofs 5.21. I get the same popup when starting k3b
as a user but _not_ when I'm starting k3b with kdesu. Then it finds the
drives and all the other progs, including growisofs. But the man page of
growisofs says in the Notes that executed under sudo, growisofs refuses to
start. That being probably the reason why k3b doesn't "find" it...

Hope this helps,
Beni.
