how can I fix ... library request for RF12.h

I have arduino ide on linux (recent ubuntu, lucid lynx) I have created "libraries" folder in both my sketchbook directory (it did not exist) and in the .arduino hidden directoy where the preferences file is kept. then I put the downloaded and unzipped ports directory into both locations. success : ports.h is found when compiling lcddemo.pde
BUT that library needs RF12.h and that one is not found. it is not present in the zip file. /home/raalst/sketchbook/libraries/Ports/PortsRF12.cpp:6:18: error: RF12.h: No such file or directory
In the release notes I find a recent fix on the RF12 stuff, could this be caused by that ? " 2010-04-30 jcw
Fixed the RF12.h requirement wherever Ports.h is used in the sample sketches."
I'm a bit weary to start hacking libraries before I am a bit more familiar in this environment. All this was caused by my cut/paste of the LCDdemo sketch code from the jeelabs site into a newly created empty sketch on my machine.

There are some cross dependencies. The ports library also includes functions to enquiring the status of ports on a remote JeeNode, so calls to the RF12 library are required.
All you need to do is add the RF12 library into your Arduino environment (as you have done with ports already).

Wait. The RF12 library is a separate library, get it here .
The dependencies are a mess. Until I sort it out, always install both Ports and RF12 as two separate Arduino libraries.

yes, thanks, it works now. I'm now busy with the potmeter. backlight works, but no letters yet.

letters show up now. for this, looking at the backside of the lcd, plug on the upper side, i turned the pot to the left.
