Thanks! When I checked this morning, the file was not there. So I
disabled braille support in Orca, ran the installation process again,
and it worked.
BRLTTY 4.2 was still running, so I uninstalled it through the Ubuntu
software center, then ran the installing process for 4.3 again. Now that
it what is showing. Whew!
It looks good from here! Now to see what happens when I hook up the
display... /smile/
Thank you for help with my newbie troubles!

This error looks rather interesting. The -d option of the install command is
for creating a directory. It's not supposed to complain if the directory
already exists. When install -d was used to create /bin, which surely does
already exist, it correctly silently ignored the condition. When, however, it
was used to create /var/run/brltty, it complained that it already exists and
then failed. That's not supposed to happen.
My guess is that /var/run/brltty on your system does exist but isn't a
directory. Can you check this out? If it's a symbolic link, what's it pointing
to? If it's a file, what's in it?
