Hi James -
Confirmed - thbook.pdf is in /usr/share/therion. Thanks!
The problem with "make install" is not a permissions issue. The files being copied do not exist at their source location. The compile ran and produced no errors - and also produced no output!
You may be on to something regarding nVidia display adapters. I do use an nVidia display adapter and I recently changed to a new one. I have been using an older 8400GS. Unfortunately nVidia decided to stop updating the driver for it. Their driver stopped working with kernel 4.1.6 or thereabouts. I bought a new GT710 card which is supported by nVidia's current driver. This is the closed-source binary driver straight from nVidia.
I have not tried Therion 5.1.4 on any other system yet. The obvious candidate is my laptop which has an Intel display adapter. I will try to do that soon and post results. I also have some VirtualBox systems where I can install Therion. VirtualBox provides a special display driver for guest systems.
