OK, i understand now: everything in the same directory, even configuration files . May i suggest you add either compilation or runtime switch to specify configuration and log directories locations ? I don't know if this is difficult to implements, but makes installation way easier and more flexible. Moreover, you currently misuses prefix as the top-level installation directory, whereas it should be the root from which you build your top-level directory path. So, you should install in %{prefix}/games/netrek, not in %{prefix} -- Guillaume Rousse <rousse at ccr.jussieu.fr> GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html
