Description Anthony Ventimiglia 2003-08-13 20:18:46 UTC

The nethack directory under noegnud-nethack is installed with no write permissions 
for the group making the game unplayable. A simple fix, but it should be fixed in the 
ebuild: 
 
This  will fix the problem. 
 
# emerge noegnud-nethack 
# chmod g+w /usr/games/lib/noegnud-0.7.1/nethack-3.4.1 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. # emerge noegnud-nethack  -- (as root) 
2. $ noegnud-nethack              -- (as user in games group) 
		 
Actual Results:  
 noegnud crashes trying to begin game 

Expected Results:  
It should have started a nethack game

I see that in the ebuild, but it doesn't work. Perhaps you should actually test the ebuild.
