Yes, I know.  I didn't realise the $NLSPATH variable had to be set,
although it's quite obvious.

That's the whole idea.  $HOME space is more expensive than /tmp,
and restoring a Freeciv installation only takes a couple of minutes.
I would advise against choosing /tmp because it is usually cleaned out
automatically and should never overflow, but I can safely use it on my
own Linux box, where I'm the only user.
