Sounds like you weren't root when you issued that command. You have to be root to use that tool. Just su to root and then try it again.

by su to root are you saying use the super user terminal?

err, I don't know what that is. Just open a regular term, like you're doing now I assume, then type su then type the root password. You are now root.
