Please try to execute: $ cd /usr $ widelands In my case it helped. How? I have run strace and grepped for locale string: $ strace -o /tmp/widelands.txt widelands
$ grep locale widelands.txt open("/home/user/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/widelands.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home/user/share/games/widelands/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/widelands.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home/user/share/games/widelands/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/widelands.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home/user/share/games/widelands/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/widelands.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I have found that locale files are located in: $ dpkg -L widelands-data | grep pl_PL /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/worlds /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/worlds/winterland.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/worlds/desert.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/worlds/greenland.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/worlds/blackland.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/widelands.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/tribes /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/tribes/empire.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/tribes/barbarians.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/texts.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/maps.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/campaigns /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/campaigns/emp01.wmf.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/campaigns/t02.wmf.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/campaigns/emp02.wmf.mo /usr/share/games/widelands/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/campaigns/t01.wmf.mo So I suppose there is something wrong with prefix. I don't know whether it is upstream or Debian bug. <guess>Would it behave the same way if configure is called with some prefix set to "."?</guess> Regards, Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
