Thanks to Feng xue & Dave, FSL installation is ok:
After downloading the centos32 version, I "tar xvfz" it and logged in as a new user, made some alternations to the path, and FSL appeared. WoW!

Indeed, running as root is risky! There is no need to run FSL as root
so, if you do so and your machine gets hacked/accidentally fried...
well, you have been warned. :-)
Good luck.

>>> Hm, I'd be very surprised if that was so! What OS are we talking about here? After running the ". ${FSLDIR}/etc/fslconf/fsl.sh", type "set | grep FSL" you should get a list of 5 or 6 environment variables; what are their values? Also send us the output of "ls $FSLDIR". Finally, shouldn't really be a problem but, why are you running as root? Do you get different behaviour if you run as a regular user?
