Hi,

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,

Oh man, this really sounds like a mess. The normal behaviour is:

main program:    /usr/local/bin/fgfs
data directory:  /usr/local/shared/FlightGear/data

I do not agree with Eriks remark that "this sounds like a mess" : it is a commonly used method to ensure that EVERYTHING that belongs to a certain packet ends up in the same tree without cluttering anything else and can thus be easily removed without having to rely on an UN-install script.

That's why we have a data directory, the tree would like something like this then:


/opt/FlightGear
/opt/FlightGear/bin
/opt/FlightGear/sbin
/opt/FlightGear/data
/opt/FlightGear/include

This is nothing like he described above.

Erik
