Summary: Can't open/ run Privoxy (poss. configuration issue)

Initial Comment:
I just recently installed Tor and Privoxy (version 3.0.0.17) from code (Aug 22, 2011) on (Linux) Ubuntu 11.04 - natty
The user manual doesn't mention any specific instructions however I attempted to open the program using the "other" Linux instructions (section 5.4) in the user manual under startup http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/startup.html. This didn't work  neither did the instructions in 5.2 (Debian).  Regardless I attempted to configure my web browser (Firefox 6.0) however as can be expected it didn't work. I also attempted to test if it was running using config.privoxy.org and as expected I only saw the message "Privoxy is not being used". I am unsure if there may be a problem in my configuration settings as if I understand correctly the configuration file is supposed to be /etc/privoxy/config which doesn't contain any executable commands. username: ms6842 email: msd...@ya... Thank You
