Thanks!

The programmer did what you suggested and that binary works for me on my 
Jessie system.  Eventually I will try it on my Wheezy system.

I do plan to continue with some of the other suggestions made in this thread 
(like the ones to create a chroot and then compile there, and then maybe to 
play with some virtual machines).

My next step is to play with that executable and confirm that it performs as 
expected.

As a side note (and with no good reason to post this here) -- back in the day 
I used to do all kinds of things with computers (at least, the kinds of things 
I needed to do for one reason or another, including things related to my job), 
now I find that learning and trying new things is often a stressful experience 
(which, among other things, leads to bad eating habits).

I need to learn to change that, somehow.
