>Description:
Tuxracer will not start.
>How-To-Repeat:
In a Xterm, type "tuxracer". The game will briefly flash and then this warning will appear:
***tuxracer error: error evalating /usr/local/share/tuxracer/tux.tcl: couldn't read file "tux.tcl": permission denied
Please check the value of `data_dir' in ~/.tuxracer/options and make sure it
points to the location of the latest version of the tuxracer-data files.
>Fix:
The problem is that the data files in games/tuxracer/work/tuxracer-data-0.61 are not have world readable. There is no way for tuxracer to access any of it's data. NOTE: portlint showed that USE_GL should be substituted for USE_MESA
To fix apply the following patch:
