Well, I did in the past without problem; that why I am a little bit surprised, not to be able anymore;Hi,
I have a problem to run fgfs from an user account; I am using a fedora core 3 system.
I installed FlightGear 0.9.8 in /usr/local/FlightGear-0.9.8 and the base package is located in /usr/local/FlightGear-0.9.8/share/FlightGear
When I tested FlightGear from the root account, everything went well.
I run FlightGear as a user all the time, so there shouldn't be a problem.
Ok; this is something that isn't clear for me; what is exactly the data directory ?
If I run fgfs as a user without options, it run ok as well; but if I try to give options, like using another aircraft, I get the following answer:
----------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ /usr/local/FlightGear-0.9.8/bin/fgfs &
[1] 6138
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
Base package check failed ... Found version [none] at: /usr/local/FlightGear-0.9.8/share/FlightGear # Tells FlightGear where to look for its root data files
Please upgrade to version: 0.9.8
You have to set the FG_ROOT environment variable (or specify --fg-root in the ~/.fgfsrc file) to point to the "data" directory of FlightGear. In your case I expect it to be one of the following:
/usr/local/FlightGear-0.9.8/data
/usr/local/FlightGear-0.9.8/share/FlightGear/data
In my install, I have most of the files and directories (airport, aircraft, etc) in
/usr/local/FlightGear-0.9.8/share/FlightGear
so I thought it is the fg-root; in fact, in this directory, there is also that version file that contains the version number of flightgear, and I thought it was this file the program complained not to find; it must be something else, since the file is there anyway;
on the other hand, there is also a data directory, that contains very few files; but if I set fg-root to
/usr/local/FlightGear-0.9.8/share/FlightGear/data
I get exactly the same result :-( So, for the moment, I am still stuck!
Patrick.
