Comment 3 for bug 386794

Cheers for the help! I have managed to get the newer version of memoir working at last. The manual install worked in the end - just felt like a rather awkward process copying over files in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/memoir/ to make it work. Now when I compile the tex code with latex I see "Document Class: memoir 2010/02/20 v1.618033988c" which looks much better and it works fine.

I don't think I have used latex much before so I'm glad I have managed to get this far and will likely find it useful.
