 This is the frustrating part, for me anyway, in learning Linux is.... well ...
I may have ephed things up. I did run apt-get install... it ran... I looked
everywhere and couldn't find it.  tried the second way, building it via
source... it built it... somewhere...  Can't find it.  I have a local
guy/friend I know who'll dig me out of this mess.

With Linux I seem to take 1 step forward and 3 or 4 back.

I have the information I need to progress from this point
