It looks like your binary might be 0.9.8 based on the error message. This is two releases old. fgfs looks for a file called "version" in its default location, which in your case should be /usr/local/share/FlightGear/version This file should contain the text 1.0.0 based on what you said you installed. Try finding your data package with $ locate FlightGear/version strip the version part and feed it into fgfs as --fg-root Then start fgfs with $ fgfs --fg-root=/path/to/FlightGear/ Ron ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-users
