[Opengc-devel] Re: getting closer!

Ok, you're in the home stretch! This is easy to fix:

1) Make sure the contents of the nav zip file from Sourceforge are unzipped
into /usr/local/navbase (or NavBase, or whatever)
2) _Don't_ unzip any of the .gz files that are present in
/usr/local/navbase - they're supposed to be zipped
3) Here's the part I think is causing the error: the path name has to have a
trailing "/". So your path would look like:

/usr/local/NavBase/

A smarter version of the ini code would check for a trailing / and add one
if it's missing. I should probably make that a priority. Let me know if
adding the / fixes the problem.

As a reminder, only the X-Plane data source works under Linux with the
current build setup. I've disabled the flightgear code (temporarily) because
it relies on Unix-specific networking and is not well integrated with CMake.
There are X-plane configuration instructions included with the exe
download - I don't think I've checked them into the CVS yet.
