Thanks for letting me know about 2.5.1. Unfortunately it still cannot
be found by Emacs.
Also, I will try to read the manuals again, but a lot of the advice
I've come across indirectly relates to my issue and involves (meaning
it may or may not fix the issue) making a lot of changes that alter
the step by step instructions I was following, which I'm afraid to do
at this point. Obviously these programs are extremely sensitive to
small installation errors/typos and I don't want to dig myself further
into a hole.
