The good news is that my problem apparently "went away" while attempting to gather the log for this response. The bad 
news is that I have no idea why. Thanks for all the attention from everyone getting me to this point; I'll see if I can 
backtrack my actions to cause the issue to re-appear. 

I can now run phcalc and see it appear on my LCD, which was my goal for this exercise.

Attached is the requested info.
