[quote user="Thomas Brady"]My suggestion is to have someone at TI actually try the install from the .tar.gz.[/quote]
This is exactly what I've been doing too. It is actually the main way I install CCS.
Under what account do you install CCS? as root?
Do you install CCS with sudo? How exactly do you install it and where do you install it?
I've installed as root. I've also installed as user ans run the installer without sudo and then run the driver script with it. The latter was CCSv5.5.0.00077 on Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit
