I usually make an uploads folder under whichever user I happen to be 
using - usually something original, like drew.  I untar there, then su 
so I can configure and install as root.  As far as I can tell, you can 
just wipe the /opt/rt3 folder and untar it in /root and you should be 
fine.  Just redo your configure, then make install.
