Details

Description:
When started from a terminal, OpenLieroX fails with error message “SystemError: Could not load the fonts”. According to the FAQ [0], this is because the binary can't find its data (actually in /usr/share/OpenLieroX), that it expects to find in the current directory or in /usr/share/games/OpenLieroX. Changing to /usr/share/OpenLieroX then calling openlierox again works nice.

Maybe a compilation option to change the search path from /usr/share/games/OpenLieroX to /usr/share/OpenLieroX exists to fix this. Otherwise, it may be worthwhile to provide a wrapper script that changes to the appropriate directory before calling the game's binary.

Additional info:
* community/openlierox 0.58_rc3-1

Steps to reproduce:
* Start OpenLieroX from any directory but /usr/share/OpenLieroX
