Just to get sure it isn't related to your config: start Geany from the command line and set a different configuration directory to create and use a plain default configuration, e.g.: geany -c /tmp/geany_test
In fact I can't start Geany from my command-line. I installed it with John's method (http://lists.uvena.de/geany/2007-October/001931.html). So Geany executable can be found inside my /home/kib/opt/bin directory.
Your PATH environment variable should have /home/kib/opt/bin in it. To set PATH, I have the following line at the end of my ``~/.bashrc`` file::
PATH=/home/john/opt/bin:$PATH
If you make that change (with s/john/kib/), and log out & log back in, you should then see that ~/opt/bin directory at the front of your path::
echo $PATH
Now, the system should find ``geany`` just fine. Try::
which geany
and it should say: ``/home/kib/opt/bin/geany``.
If you're building and installing your own Geany, you probably don't want to have 2 Geanys installed. Check if you've installed Ubuntu's::
dpkg -l | grep geany
If it's there, you can remove it like so::
sudo aptitude purge geany
(In case they're of any use to anyone, I added those notes to my little Geany notes page at http://www.milliwatt-software.com/jmg/notes/geany.html .)
