File owner problem?

[FORTadmin]

I'm feeling a little stupid right now. Thought this would be fairly simple, and the instructions were extremely good, but I messed up and need some advice.

I did everything, but when I ran ./eggdrop for the first time, it said I was running as root, which it refused to do. So, I changed to another user and tried to run it again (admin). It said I didn't have permissions to get into the directory.

So, I changed back to root, and chowned all of the directories and files recursively as admin. su'ed back to admin, and tried to run it. Here's what I got:

[admin@host botdir]$ ./eggdrop -m fortbot.conf

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, everyone!

The files have been compiled as root, and as such, have the user ownership of root.

You will need to re-compile the bot, as a normal user, to run it as that user.

I did that, and everything worked great. Thanks everyone for the help.

Of course, now my bot has stopped responding to commands and requests, although it's still logging them. Not sure quite what to do about that, but I'll look around in here and try to find the answer.
