Hello Brian, many thanks for the reply. I eventually figured out the same conclusion as you, and edited two files of similar names to fix it. Thing is though, this problem arose from nothing I'd typed myself, but from following the installation instructions themselves, so there must be an error at that end. In fact also, the word 'main' was there , but the 'ain' was tagged on too on the next line. I've been using Ubuntu for two yeaes and love it, but I'm still very much a beginner. All the best. S.D.
