Matt and Charlie,

Maybe you were unaware but there is a README.TXT file that accompanies 
the distribution. It has important platform notes that can help avoid 
many issues.

What I fear has happened is that you have installed to the /usr/local 
prefix which will be favored over the /usr prefix if both paths exist. 
The ike programs and libs that were installed here will need to be 
cleaned up. Here is part of the platform notes for Linux which should 
help you get back on track :)

Linux
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...

The following options are recommended when running the cmake 
configuration for linux platforms. Please see the OPTIONS section for 
more details.

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DQTGUI=YES -DETCDIR=/etc -DNATT=YES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For some reason, the /usr/local prefix exists on Ubuntu and Kubuntu so 
the cmake configuration script can't logically determine that installing 
to this location would be a bad idea. Why none of the default exec or 
library paths don't point here is beyond my comprehension.

Please let me know if rebuilding and installing with these options does 
not help.

Thanks again,

-Matthew
