I changed the
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(RCSS_BUNDLE_PATH,["$prefix/share/"PACKAGE_NAME],["Data dir"])
to
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(RCSS_BUNDLE_PATH,[PREFIX"/share/"PACKAGE_NAME],["Data dir"])
in configure.ac, then it works for me.

The new cmake supporting for rcssserver3d also works for me ( great
work, Hedayat! )
maybe it's time to forget automake. ;-)

Yes, I know, and hope you will implement this soon ;-P
