Okay, my /home/darklord/.transgaming directory -does- have a fake c_drive
folder in it (and inside of that, /Program Files and /windows) and it did this
from the RPM install, so dunno what happened with your setup...try
reinstalling maybe?
As far as libMFC42 or libMFC42.so goes, "whereis", "locate", and "find"
produced no results on my system...its not here...
Wish I could help more... ;-(
