It is in /usr/bin which is in the path.  I tried running it from the command 
line and it complains about not being able to open libpano12.so 
with a "No such file or directory" error.  But libpano12.so is located 
in /usr/lib. 

I PTStitcher this using panorama-tools-nonfree-2.7a.ebuild that I found on 
bugs.gentoo.org.  I just looked at the the ebuild and it looks like it 
installed 32 bit binaries so it wants a 32 bit libpano12.so and does not work 
with the 64 bit version I have installed.  I should have checked the ebuild 
to see what it was doing and I would have known that it would not work.  I 
wonder if installing a 32 version of libpano12 in /usr/lib32 would work? 

The optimizer works in Hugin so this must only need libpano12 and not 
PTOptimizer.

Nona works but is less powerful than PTStitcher.  In particular I wanted 
to be able to have PTStitcher to handle color and exposure correction which 
Nona does not do. Enblend is also working fine but I have not been able to get 
autopano-sift to compile. 

I have done more testing and Hugin 0.5 beta 3 is working OK.  Only a few minor 
problems with some things that will crash it.
