I believe that I installed it correctly (went through the listed configure, make , and make install commands listed) but I can't seem to actually launch the program...
What I've done so far:
configure (this went off without a hitch) make (same with this) make check (a-ok)
Then - make install - and I think this is where the trouble might be:
make install

sudo make install
to install the application - what happens then?
