Thanks for the "low-down" on your attempts. I never bothered to try and 
install on Linux because I have trouble installing the software on 
Windows. My problem on Windows are mostly related to figuring out how to 
re-install all of my books from previous versions and such. Every time 
that I do this, I want to hunt down the programmers and use them for 
target practice.

I do know that Libronix installs registers many many things into the 
registry. I have performed manual uninstall on some versions to clean-up 
when they had some buggy releases. It was mind-boggling.

After the software is installed, it is simply amazing what you can do, 
which provides insentive to figure out how to install on Linux.
