Launching sigil by double clicking the /usr/local/lib/sigil/sigil file is not recommended (even if it seems to work). The launch script (/usr/local/bin/sigil) sets ceratin environment variables that are necessary to ensure the proper environment exists for Sigil and its plugin framework.

For now, I'm running Sigil by using the shortcut from the dash, which I will drag to the desktop (it's the same thing if I run a dragged copy of it from the desktop, right?)

If I'm not supposed to run Sigil by double-clicking /usr/local/lib/sigil/sigil, how is making a link pointing to it and placing it on the desktop any different? Is there a difference between double-clicking the link (on my desktop) and double-clicking /usr/local/lib/sigil/sigil?

I was also able to run Sigil with these 2 shell scripts:

1.

#!/bin/bash

"/usr/local/lib/sigil/sigil"

2.

#!/bin/bash

sigil

I assume #2 is better, since #1 seems to just be the same as double-clicking /usr/local/lib/sigil/sigil.
