Bugzilla Bug 112388

Attempting to start warzone 2100 for amd64 immediately results in the following
errors:
ErrorBox: Couldn't open palette.bin
ErrorBox: Couldn't load palette data

Then returns to terminal

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge warzone 2100
2.$ warzone

Actual Results:  
Outputs the following:
Warning: Using colour depth of 32 instead of 24.
ErrorBox: Couldn't open palette.bin
ErrorBox: Couldn't load palette data

Then returns to terminal.

Expected Results:  
Should have displayed a nice GUI menu screen.

Bug does not seem to depend on USE variables.  Application runs on x86. Multiple
reports of bug in gentoo forums.

Possible solution: 
"What you have to do is, after you extract everything, and ./configure and then
make. You dont do makeinstall, but what you have to do is copy or link the
binary file from /src/ to /data/ in the directory that you extracted. Then you
launch the game via the binary in the data folder."

I'm also on amd64 and get this bug.

This appears to be an upstream bug. Having talked to upstream (in #warzone ),
0.2.2 is considered old and they advise using the current svn version (see
https://gna.org/projects/warzone/ for current project site) which has a totally
different data directory structure (including a palette.bin file)

no worky for amd64.  I dekeyworded it.
