Yeah, that's what I don't understand! It shows up in synaptic as installed, even removed and re-installed, but when you go to add/remove programs, and search, it's not there???

Me, too, to keep from blowing up! Oh, well, I guess I didn't need it anyway...(ps.you know I won't give up)
edit: Ok, here's a question, the file for this program is in usr/bin, so it is on the computer,could it be that it just a command line program? operated from terminal? with no gui? so I'm looking for some sort of user interface that does not exist?

I've used it before myself. All I did was google. Everything worked out good. This isn't the same place I went to originally, but it should work for you.

Yes, it is nice to have! Its saved my but a couple times now. Hope you can get it worked out though, as you said - it is a good thing to have on hand.
Although, I've run into more problems trying to get things in 64-bit than I've had trying to get the .deb for something.
