#558 AlephOne-20120128 on fedora 16 no start

[wirser]

on 86_64 fedora 16 compiled AlephOne-20120128 crashes with "FATAL: Please be sure the files 'Map', 'Shapes', 'Images' and 'Sounds' are correctly installed and try again. (error -1)" message. this happens with at least :Marathon-20120128-Data, Marathon2-20120128-Data, MarathonInfinity-20120128-Data . the directory names from the appropiate zipfiles " Marathon 2. Marathon (A1) . and Marathon Infinity" all contain a space which if removed allows proper game startup if in the directory calling "alephone $PWD" also the "(". ") "cause problems as well. I still have not gotten the data files installed properly

When you use a variable that contains special characters, you must enclose it with quotes, like:

alephone "$PWD"

This practice applies to all Linux programs, not just Aleph One

Alternatively, you can follow the installation steps from our web site: Move the data files to the directory /usr/local/share/AlephOne, and run alephone without command-line arguments.

You need to quote/escape the paths correctly in your shell. For instance, in bash:

./alephone ~/Games/Marathon\ Infinity
