Yes, that was the problem. When I ran it as /usr/sbin/ltsp-build-client
the command worked, correctly installing the files in /opt/ltsp.

The instructions didn't specifically say to run the command
as sudo, and I always find it convenient to have a terminal window
open as root when I am doing sysadmin stuff. It is actually a bit
surprising to me that su would not set root's $PATH,
but I there are probably good reasons for that.

Thanks.
