Lex,
Thanks! I hate to keep admitting things, but it looks like I had
another ebkac (well, mostly anyway).
I had first installed geany using aptitude (on Debian)--it got installed
in /usr/bin/geany. When I built geany from source, it got installed
in /usr/local/bin/geany.
(And no doubt, /usr/bin is before /usr/local/bin on my path--hmm, but I
just checked and /usr/local/bin seems to come first--I guess I don't
understand the Linux PATH--does it work in reverse order? My PATH:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/rhk/bin
)
Anyway, bottom line, the wrong executable was being run (which didn't
have Markdown as a menu choice.
Sorry for the noise, but I guess I am wondering if the README for geany
shouldn't tell you where it is being installed. (After 10 years of
migration into Linux, there is still stuff that doesn't make sense to
me.)
So I wonder at the "proper" solution. I think I'll try an aptitude
uninstall geany (or whatever the right command is--ok, actually, I
think I'll do a purge, then reconfigure geany if some things
configuration gets lost).
