What finally worked came from an ubuntu forum dated some time last year:
1. send this command to apache:
   sudo a2enmod cgi
My server responded with a warning, but then ended with
   Enabling module cgi.

2. Restart apache
   sudo service apache2 restart
Once again, I got a warning, but the web browser began to do the right thing. In fact, those directories and symbolic links I made earlier were for nothing. It doesn't need /cgi-bin, even though it's in the URL, for example. It also doesn't appear to need a link to /usr, since it looks like there's a more secure way to access the manpages also.

Thanks, Stewart for your help
