They have change the behaviour of the makefile, by default it doesn't use the pak file!

Fixed with the correct sed line, also with v1.18-2 of the package :)

I get exactly the same error with 1.19-1.

I just installed blobwars from ABS using yaourt -G blobwars and makepkg and it works. What's going on?

OK weird. I reinstalled Blobwars 1.19-1 and got the same result. I get that result on 2 other machines too. It does run from the src directory which built from the PKGBUILD. Also, when I run /usr/bin/blobwars (from the Community install) from within the ~/blobwars/src/blobwars-1.19/ directory it also works. Is there a file perms problem somewhere?

I've found the bug. They changed the behaviour of the Makefile.

This should be fixed in blobwars-1.19-2
