I guess that's where I was pulling my hair. I read the docs and never found
anything saying what libraries were needed to just get it to run. 

I understand the message was from it looking for the executable. Not a big
deal, but tat library is not default installed on Ubuntu server (maybe other
flavors if Debian based) but without knowing I would never know.

Bbbs has good documentation for the most part but the install is lacking. It
literally had no troubleshooting that I found and just assumes it installs
fine. There are many packages of libraries out there that in current days
might be needed.

Not bashing anything just giving BBbS some feedback. Do what you like. BBBS
is somewhat complicated and this is a tough issue if you don't know BBBS such
as myself being a new user to it. And everyone on here didn't think of it
either, or even know, becau
People asked about my permissions. I wrote at least 5 times permissions were
right. 

But it's all working. Just wanted to provide some feedback in maybe something
that would help new users. Only reason I posted my experience. 

And that's for Telling me about file which lead me to the issue.
