Hello,

I get this when I try do run fs2_open_r on my ubuntu(debian) box:

Code: [Select]

ERROR: "Web cursor bitmap not found.  This usually means that the executable is being run outside the directory
you installed Freespace2 to.  Please move the executable to that directory and try again" at graphics/2d.cpp:1402

Now the executable is being run in the the same directory as the .vp's and the data/ directory, so I'm kinda lost here.
The directory im using is /home/ni1s/freespace2/ and I've tried moving it around but nothing seams to work.

Please list all of the .vp's in that directory.

Also, make sure your user has ownership, if you copied them as "root" you might have a permissions issue.
If so, make sure you take ownership (as root, do "chown ni1s /home/ni1s/freespace2/ -R" to adjust the permissions)

I installed the main freespace2 program and the executable under /usr/games & i created a bashscript in /usr/games/bin to launch it, this makes the game accessable to all users, and the bashscript supports passing the -mod parameter.

Did you manage to resolve this issue?

If you have a working Windows install, copy over all the files from it save the binary you built from source.

You can then replace the various media VPs with the newer 3.6.7 versions.

Then copy over the source-built binary, and you should be able to play at this point.
