I installed lgeneral-1.2beta-13 recently. When I attempt to start a campaign (only one is labelled "PG"), the program crashes. Similar crashes happen when I attempt to load and start specific scenarios, e.g. North Africa. Here's the output from running lgeneral from a shell and attempting to start the PG campaign: gregg@bianchi ~ $ lgeneral LGeneral 1.2beta-13 Copyright 2001-2005 Michael Speck Published under GNU GPL

Anybody else seeing this?
Yes, looks like the thing I described in Bug #248241.
I had beta13 installed though with these patches, and it wasn't working. I created an overlay ebuild for beta14 (available from the game author's site) and tried that, but it too had the same issues. There is a discussion about a related bug on that site's forum: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2924907&group_id=9301&atid=109301 While this allowed me to start a campaign without errors, I still could not load some of the scenarios (e.g. any of the North African ones). For reference, here's the error I get when running lgeneral from a terminal and attempting to load the North Africa scenario: "/usr/share/games/lgeneral/scenarios/pg/NorthAfrica: 16: parse error: use '»' for assignment or '<' for section"
This seems to be fixed in games-strategy/lgeneral-1.2, which is now in Portage.
