Amen to that Joe - once you get past the Unixese and the assumption that many make that "well it should all be obvious" then it gets easier. But like you I have beaten my head against many brick walls with this stuff. Some stuff "just works" and then there are the rest ...

Because I'm not very bright?

The email of
yours I responded to specifically mentioned Python 3.4. The problem was
that your PATH did not have /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin on it, so you found the OPS
Python 3.4 instead, which places a symlink in /QOpenSys/usr/bin so it's on
the default PATH. All software installed by ACS is under
/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin, so you must either fully qualify them or adjust your
PATH to find them.

Yes it did, but I was drinking from the firehose at that particular moment. I've since addressed all of those things and actually got to where I need to be. I think. There really is a bit of a bootstrap, both technically and philosophically, to embrace Open Source.

I'll get there.
