Using the rpm from packman, symlinks from /usr/share/ScotlandYard/* are created to $HOME/.ScotlandYard. SCOTMAP.TXT is being opened read/write which fails for non-root users due to lacking permissions. I guess opening it read only would suffice. As a workaround, I changed ScotlandYard.sh to copy the file instead of linking.
In version 2.2, this problem has been fixed. The file is now opened read-only, instead of read-write.
