Bug 189348 – games-rpg/nwn is literally unusable (at least when installing from Polish discs)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dominik Kozaczko 2007-08-18 11:20:07 UTC]

I tried installing fresh Neverwinter Nights. I tried several ways - with and without USE=cdinstall.

Result: unusable game

Reason: no lib/* and no "nwn" script installed.

The only way to get "lib/*" and "nwn" is to install from Loki's installer, but that should not be obligatory, should it?

I think that BioWare (or CDProjekt if this occurs only in Polish version) is to blame because they do not supply all necessary files with the client package.

Also desktop entry for NWN-DM is missing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install games-rpg/nwn and games-rpg/nwn-data
2.try to run the game ;)

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens, game does not run because it lacks "lib" directory and "nwn" script.

Expected Results:  
During installation all necessary files should be installed, so the game would run "out of the box". At least there should be a message after installation.

I used original Polish edition of Neverwinter Nights.

OK.  Can you attach the output of "ls -lR" for any and all discs you have to this bug?
