okay, well the pre-filled defaults in that run_fgrun Wizard, as (I assume) set up by the download_and_compile script are: 1. Executable: /home/mmuc/flight.simulator/install/fgrun/bin/../../fgfs/bin/fgfs ...which exists and is executable: $ ll /home/mmuc/flight.simulator/install/fgfs/bin/fgfs -rwxr-xr-x 1 mmuc mmuc 135333892 2011-08-03 17:38 /home/mmuc/flight.simulator/install/fgfs/bin/fgfs* 2. FG_ROOT: /home/mmuc/flight.simulator/install/fgrun/bin/../../fgfs/fgdata ...which exists but has not much in it: $ ll /home/mmuc/flight.simulator/install/fgrun/bin/../../fgfs/fgdata total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 mmuc mmuc 4096 2011-07-28 10:43 ./ drwxr-xr-x 5 mmuc mmuc 4096 2011-07-28 10:43 ../ drwxr-xr-x 8 mmuc mmuc 4096 2011-07-28 15:27 .git/ 3. FG_AIRCRAFT: [blank] 4. FG_SCENERY: /home/mmuc/flight.simulator/install/fgrun/bin/../../fgfs/fgdata/Scenery ...which doesn't exist as shown in the FG_ROOT directory listing above 5. Terrasync exe: [blank] 6. Airports Cache: /home/mmuc/.fltk/flightgear.org/fgrun//airports.txt ...which does not exist but I'm guessing it will be created after I eventually get to run this successfully. So although I'm a newbie and not knowing what to expect in each folder, I would nonetheless assume that #2 and #4 are the problem causing run_fgrun's Next button to be greyed out. Can anyone comment/agree? I've retried "sh download_and_compile.sh DATA"... should this fix the above missing folder contents or is there something else I should be doing? Anyway I'm currently getting an error from gitorious.org within the "sh download_and_compile.sh DATA" output (although I don't think this was a problem when I ran the script yesterday and days before): $ sh download_and_compile.sh DATA ************************************** * * * Warning, the compilation process * * is going to use 9 or more Gbytes * * of space and at least a couple of * * hours to download and build FG. * * * * Please, be patient ...... * * * ************************************** Asking your password to perform an apt-get update Ign http://extras.ubuntu.com natty InRelease ...

Thanks again and I will appreciate a little more feedback if anyone can see what I'm missing.
