title: Checkinstall not found though already installed (Ubuntu)
body: <p>I am trying to install Cuneiform following a usual procedure (downloading archive, unpacking, using make etc). One of the steps in building it is <code>sudo checkinstall</code>. When I run this in the terminal, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>sudo: ckeckinstall: command not found</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am new to Ubuntu, and not a programmer, so this may be a very simple question. What I have learned so far is that I can install software through <code>sudo apt-get install [name]</code>. When I do this, I get a message that <code>checkinstall</code> is already installed. Also, looking it up in the Software Centre I saw a green tick next to it (which means that it is installed). So why do I get the message that the command is not found and how do I get around it?</p>
