   SBBS is not there, as per the path /home/sbbs is $HOME for sbbs user, SBBS   
   lives under /sbbs

    NB> Everything above definitely means that the package 'luit' is NOT   
    NB> installed. Maybe it is not available via your package manager, or you   
    NB> do not have the proper repo enabled that this package resides in.   
      
   Weird thing and I guess it's Ubuntu's fault here, hwy does it report the   
   package intsalled and then report no such command   
      
    NB> So with that said, forget about luit and change your command line to   
    NB> this:   
      
    NB> LANG=es_ES.ISO8859-2 gedlnx -C/path/to/golded.conf   
      
    NB> See how that works for you.   
      
   This one worked, like gedlnx by itself with no other viriables or   
   declarations, but I still get wrong key mappings
