can't locate node [turtle_teleop_joy] in package [learning_joy]

Using Hydro on Precise. Following the tutorials on joystick operation here and here. The joystick works, roscore is running, joy_node is running, when I do rostopic echo joy I see the vectors change as I expect when the joystick controls are moved. When I run roslaunch learning_joy turtle_joy.launch however, the joystick still works, topic echo shows still sending, but no movement of the turtle.

I'm still on the steep part of the learning curve so I could be wrong, but might this be a path problem? I've changed the launch file as suggested here (joy to joy_node) and also changed the last line from turtle_teleop to learning_joy (missed that bit on the tutorial) but still not getting it right. here's my screenshot:
