I downloaded aqemu-0.8.2.tar.bz2, compiled and installed it to the default-location /usr/local/ under Debian Squeeze.
But when I start AQEmu, AQEmu searches the wrong path and I always get the following error-message:
Sender: int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
Message: Cannot Load AQEMU Icon Theme!
File "/usr/share/aqemu//oxygen_icons.rcc" Not Found!
AQEmu then starts without any icons. I get this error message no matter where I install AQEmu or what I set "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=..." to. The only workaround I've found was "cp -a /usr/local/share/aqemu /usr/share/"...
Should be fixed in 0.9.1. If not, open another ticket.
