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 .)
