I compiled the 3.6.9rc7 source in Linux, seems to work great.
However when I try to use a mod, Freespace Port for example, I do not get the proper campaigns in the campaign room. It still shows Freespace2 as the only available campaign.

I've tried:
-mod fsport
-mod fsport,mediavps
-mod fsport,,mediavps

I do get the proper freespace1 Interface Screen so I assume the -mod switch is at least partially working.

I am using the same fsport files that work for me in windows.

Is there some other trick I need to get the campaign selection screen working in Linux.

Also I tried with DerilictSCP and History of Sol.

When did you get hold of the source? There was an error in the code a while back that caused exactly this error.

If you look here you can see the exact same problem being reported. I assume that Taylor updated the Linux tarball but if he didn't (or if you're using one downloaded before the update) I'd expect exactly that problem to appear.

Make sure you have the fsport mission pack.  It's separate from the main fsport pack because it's updated more often.

Yes I have the mission pack.
I am using all of the same files that actually work for me in windows.
The only file that is different is the executable, which I compiled from source, I downloaded the source from the link on the forums for rc7 about 2 weeks ago, so apparently the source archive was not updated.

I grabbed the cvs source and recompiled, works fine now 

How, exactly, should the -mod line go?

is -mod fsport,,meadiavps (with 2 commas) the correct way?

[karajorma]

-mod fsport,mediavps

You don't want two commas. That's a bug (since resolved) in the way the launcher handled things.

Ok, got it.

Thanks for the help.
