[Flightgear-users] Flight Gear 0.9.8: newbie installation on GNU/Linux
Hello list, I'm a Flight Gear newbie, and installed the 0.9.8 version from the sources on my FC3 GNU/Linux box, following the online documentation at http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/InstallGuide/getstart.html#QQ2-6-10. Obviously, my installation must not be perfect since I am not able to start fgfs :-). I've installed using ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/FlightGear and got the following directories installed as expected: /usr/local/FlightGear/bin /usr/local/FlightGear/man /usr/local/FlightGear/sbin Then, being in /usr/local/FlightGear, unpacked the base tarball as indicated in the online doc, and got a data/ dir in /usr/local/FlightGear. The doc seems wrong or I did miss something 'cause fgfs won't find the expected version: Base package check failed ... Found version [none] at: /usr/local/FlightGear/share/FlightGear Please upgrade to version: 0.9.8 I moved and renamed the data dir to /usr/local/share/FlightGear and now face: Unable to open aircraft directory. So what is the right place for this data directory? What did I do wrong?

Obviously, my installation must not be perfect since I am not able to
start fgfs :-).
And it's always when I send such help request that I finally found what was
wrong.. the permissions of /usr/local/FlightGear/share/FlightGear/Aircraft/dhc2/
directory were not correct, I had to chmod -R a+rX it.
This has to be done after unpacking the base tarball, unless the base tarball
is fixed.
Also, the attached patch helps the user in such situation: it shows *which*
directory cannot be opened. I've checked at the other occurrences of the
string Unable to open aircraft directory. and they don't seem to need such
change since they refer to the Aircraft/ directory itself, so if I'm not
wrong the error message it self-explicit.
Maybe some other error message should be checked and include more detail
about the error itself? I also noticed that wrong permissions to files inside
the aircraft directories are silently ignored, as well as (for instance)
any subdir in Scenery/).
Regards,
