Solaris 2.7 on intel pIII 500 using the latest 1.10 release.

It beats the hell out of me as well. Maybe I'm missing something really
simple? is there any files that need copying to other peoples
directories? or maybe certain permissions that need to be set. Remember
I installed freeciv under my own student account, not as root.

Thanks for any help
