Roadnav install ??

I tried installing Roadnav on a PC under FC6, just to get a look at it; 
the launcher is on the Main Menu under Accessories.

Now I'm in process of installing it -- or have finished and goofed -- on 
a G3 iBook under FC6.ppc. But there's no launcher. Not under Accessories, 
nor anywhere else I can find. 

The documentation does not seem to contain any instruction on launching. 
I tried simply commanding "roadnav &" -- as root, as user btth, and as 
user btth in the directory /home/btth/roadnav-0.16

As root I get "-bash: roadnav: command not found" and a new prompt.

As btth, I get "bash: roadnav: command not found" (without the hyphen 
before bash)  -- but instead of a renewed prompt, I get nothing, until I 
eventually hit ^C. Then get something like "[1]" or "[1]+" on a new line; 
then a number such as 14522 after [1] without the + (which looks like a 
process ID), or "Exit 127      roadnav" after the [1]+ -- and then a new 
prompt.

Have I not finished installing it? (I got interrupted.) Or done it wrong? 
Or what?

On the PC with the launcher, if I command "roadnav &" as user btth, I get 
a [1] without the + ; then roadnav launches, and I get my prompt back. 

The launch produces the same display both ways.

I know little (precious little!) of what I'm talking about.
