I want to make sure that I am using my current version of liglouis with

I'm not exactly sure what you're after, but Ubuntu comes with liblouis
and afaik the standard packaged liblouis installs its tables under
/usr/share/liblouis.
If you manually install liblouis with the ./configure && make && make
install dance, then the tables should end up under
/usr/local/share/liblouis.
As far as I know liblouis will find the tables there without you having
to do anything. If you want you can specify the LOUIS_TABLEPATH
environment variable, which incidentally I thought was documented. But I
can only find it in a very dark corner of the documentation.
Hope that helps
