OK, gonna show my ignorance.  Went where Kurt told me, downloaded
libgphoto2.2.1.6rc2.tar.gz.  Downloaded it into ~/.  Wrong, me thinks? 
Opened Adminmenu and typed in libgphoto2.2.1.rc62.tar.gz. and it was put
in ~/, not in /usr/share/.  How do I correct this and what will I need
to do to to the lingphoto2 there now?  Move libgphoto2.2.1.6rc2.tar.gz
to /Usr and then run the Adninmenu, again?

Ah, what would a simple soul, as I, do without all of you folks help?
