Hey folks. This project sounds great and getting to properly play X-Com on my Linux lappy alone would be very nice, even without the neatness I see looking at this. But then there is sadness.
I take my files for the windows CE version I have on my thumbdrive, (Of course I have it on my thumbdrive, don't you?) and after some searching locate the folder they actually belong in. And then I get the above error. Only trouble is, I looked in GEODATA, which I put in the Data folder, in the openxcom folder that the ppa install added to usr. The file's there. I even put the same files in the .local user folder it made as well.

All I get. Running latest Mint Linux... 15? Installed via the ppa through terminal, using a patched X-Com Collector's edition. For the heck of it, I even put my dos copy of the file in there. Clearly I am doing something wrong. Any guesses? I looked at the web version that was linked somewhere and I'm loving what I see, I'd just like to do it locally.
