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.
You only need to use "configure" and "make" and "make install" if you are compiling it from source. Since you said you're using Synaptic to install it, you shouldn't really need to bother doing configure/make/make install. There won't be a single executable since it's a Gnome-Panel applet. Right click on the panel and select "add to panel". Then find "lunar clock" from the list, and add it to the panel.
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...
Yep. Command line is very useful, but it won't necessarily help you here.
Is the command I need to start with: apt-get install glunarclock
That will install glunarclock. It does the same as you selecting it in Synaptic and clicking on "install" (or apply, or whatever).
I tried it and it seems to have produced the same list of files I had from synaptic.
Yep. It'll do that. Synaptic is purely a fancy front-end to the "apt" tools.
Forgive me if I'm being a little dense here, what is it I should be doing?
No problem. As above, just add to the panel. It's not a full GUI application, it's just a funky little thing that sits in your panel (the "taskbar").
