I doubt this will affect most users.
I made an install to PREFIX=$HOME, and so rvpa is $HOME/bin/rvpa.
This means that having a root-running daemon will probably not have it in PATH, and I get:
knotd: RV-Predict/C could not start an analysis process: No such file or directory
knotd: RV-Predict/C event serialization failed: Broken pipe
Aborted
Also, this error message isn't good enough to be fixed by a user.
