'not installed'. Is there more to this package than just the library (.so)?

hmmm ... I didn't think of that (along with a few other readers!)
Ok, it's installed ... reboot.
YES!!!! :) :) It at least boots properly! Thaaaaaank you!
Like I mentioned, I'm new-ish to linux. And, I use the gui exclusively.
So, it never occured to me to install in runlevel=3. I figured that I'd
have to get it to boot somehow, then use Applications > Add/Remove
Software. Same with vi - it just occurred to me that I could have easily
tried 'man vi'.

One difference from yours -
Identifier "Default Layout"
Does that matter?
Also, I don't have Screen 1 - I guess because I didn't set up multiple
screens.

Same as yours.
