Thank you Derek! Big question is, how do I do that? I've been searching
the web for properly installing SLIB, but have nothing definitive yet.
I've yet to search the Ubuntu forums.

I have tried re-installing via the synaptic package manager but still
get the error. This is sounding more like a Debian/Ubuntu installation
error. I'll query the forums and see what I can dig up.
