the rox-filer package came with 8.06 is quite old, version 2.5, because I
want to try the new 2.8, so that I have to compile on my own.

I didn't quite understand your instruction. but
I had done made a symbolic link to AppRun:

sudo ln -s /home/seen/build/rox-filer/ROX-Filer/AppRun /usr/bin/rox

it works for now, what weird is, yesterday I tried the same thing it won't
work.

thx & regards
