Since you are running Redhat 7.2 I suggest installing:

http://java.thn.htu.se/~toor/LinNeighborhood-0.6.5-1.i386.rpm

if you have not done so already.


To do this:

[yourname@linuxbox]~$ su -
Password: 

[root@linuxbox]~$ wget http://java.thn.htu.se/~toor/LinNeighborhood-0.6.5-1.i386.rpm
--11:11:11--
http://java.thn.htu.se/%7Etoor/LinNeighborhood-0.6.5-1.i386.rpm
           => `LinNeighborhood-0.6.5-1.i386.rpm'

[root@linuxbox]~$ rpm -Uvh LinNeighborhood-0.6.5-1.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ###########################################[100%]
   1:LinNeighborhood        ###########################################[100%]


Then, within your favorite windowmanager (KDE/GNOME) login as root, open a
terminal and type:

[root@linuxbox]~$ LinNeighborhood

That should get you started...

Good luck :)
