[Freeciv] Problems running networked freeciv

[Jamie Love <jdl28@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,                                                                         
                                                                                
under my account a uni (read: non root account), I have set up freeciv.         
It all runs perfectly well for me, until me and my friends try and play         
networked (arguably the best way to play).                                      
                                                                                
What happens is that I can run it ok, and my friends can load up                
civclient, connect to my civserver process etc, but the moment a friend         
has choosen the player to be, their civclient program shuts down, and           
comes up with a couple of parse errors in helpdata.txt (line 42 to be           
                exact).                                                         
        
                                                                                
This even happens when they (my friends) try and run the server and a           
game by themselves. It just crashes at that point when the main game            
screen is supposed to change to show the map.                                   
                                                                                
Any ideas on how to fix this?
