Check owners and permissions on various directories - if sudo fixed it then it's a permission problem
The reason it doesn't work on root is root probably doesn't have the correct path(s).

I am trying to get predict going on an eeepc.
I have it installed, but every time I run it, it keeps asking for QTH and lat lon and height.
It then drops back to a command prompt.
I have looked at the permissions on /root/.predict and set to 777
It is almost like it is having trouble writting or reading and bombing out
Ideas ?
I have gpredict running.
