If the package is already installed, then you can view what files are associated with it by using the "installed files" tab.
Okay, but it seems to just tell me the same as locate. Still can't find a 'configure', 'make' or 'make install' file. I have a feeling that Synaptic did all that automatically, but without the required command line arguements needed to install it correctly, as mentioned by the README. I have used synaptic to remove the package for now. I think maybe I should be doing this via the command line? I think I have to learn at some point if I'm going to get the most out of Linux... Is the command I need to start with: apt-get install glunarclock ? I tried it and it seems to have produced the same list of files I had from synaptic. Forgive me if I'm being a little dense here, what is it I should be doing?
