    Angry apt-get blackbox

    hi all,
    im new to debian, everyone tells me how great apt-get is so i decided to give it a try, i finished installing and am trying to get the interface looking the way i like but the only problem is that i cant find the default location of the blackbox menu. ive been looking for two days now and am on the verge of shooting my computer. i initially installed blackbox via apt-get, after getting frustrated i uninstalled blackbox and downloaded the tarball but couldnt install that way because it seems my c compiler is unable to create executables. it seems i need to install x system dev tools (i gave up on that after going in circles for a while), so i went ahead and installed blackbox via apt-get again. normally from tarball the menu file is /usr/share/blackbox/menu but it's not there, the apt-get install of blackbox doesnt create ~/.blackbox, there's nothing in /etc/X11/blackbox, if anyone has recently installed blackbox via apt-get and knows where the menu file is, i would GREATLY appreciate you sharing that info with me, i'd really like to have more than xterm, restart, and exit in my context menu
