Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

installed swig 1.3.19 according to instructions. swig executable was placed in default usr/local/bin.
Then...
tried to install gnu solfege 1.4.10 according to instructions:
./configure rendered this:
=====================
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking python version... 2.2
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for swig... no
configure: error:
*** You need to install swig. You can find it at *****ww.swig.org
*** and it is probably available in a binary package from the CD or
*** ftp site of your favourite linux distro.
=====================================
swig is installed and solfege's configure script doesnt allow a path option for swig's location.
did how do i make solfege recognize the existence of swig??
First of all make sure /usr/local/bin is in your path
echo $PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
if the package has shared libs they were prolly installed in /usr/local/lib make sure it is under $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
or in /etc/ld.so.conf in this case you need to run /sbin/ldconfig to update /etc/ld.so.cache
