Where are your joe binaries installed?  The default editor script expects that 
joe is installed in /usr/bin ...  On some distros, the joe package installs to 
/usr/local/bin instead, causing this issue.

If you build joe from source code, make sure you set the PREFIX to /usr and 
not /usr/local ...
