Bug 184363 – xshipwars (xsw) will not start due to bad path assignment

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ken Rushia 2007-07-05 23:19:20 UTC]

With the 2.5.5 ebuild of xshipwars, starting the application (xsw) complains about a bad path.  The path it is looking for is "/usr/games/share/games/xshipwars", which should really be "/usr/share/games/xshipwars".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge xshipwars (with ~[arch] to get 2.5.5)
2.xsw

Actual Results:  
No such file or directory: /usr/games/share/games/xshipwars.
This is the global data files directory and must exist in order for
this program to run, please check if it has been installed and that its
permissions are set properly to allow it to be accessed by this program.
XShipWars 2.5.5 debug report:
runlevel: 0  prompt_mode: 0  connection_state: NOT_CONNECTED
option.controller: KEYBOARD  net interval: 1000 ms
player object: #-1  total_objects: 0


Expected Results:  
It should run and entertain me.
