How can I test it to make sure it is working.

It looks like you also sent the same question by email, we can continue this discussion by forum or email, whichever you prefer.

Here's a copy of the response I sent by email:

Are you physically sitting in front of the Redhat machine, or are you accessing it remotely?

If you're accessing it remotely, do you only have an SSH terminal connection to the machine, or are you accessing it using an X-Window client or VNC?

If you're accessing it remotely and you don't have a graphical X-Window session, Beyond Compare will not run in a terminal only session (SSH).
