[Freeciv] app-defaults

[Laurenz Wiskott <l.wiskott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear freeciv experts,

we have freeciv version 1.11.4 installed on our computer network.  I have
tried to compile version 1.12.0 locally on my machine.  When I type
"./configure" in the freeciv source code directory I get, among many other
(positive) messages, the error message

*** The imlib-config script installed by IMLIB could not be found
*** If IMLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the IMLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to imlib-config.

I ignored this message for the time being and compiled freeciv by typing
"gmake" in the freeciv directory.  Everything compiles fine, it seems.  I
can also start the civserver with "./server/civserver".  When I start the
civclient by typing "./client/civclient" I get the error message:

0: Game version does not match Resource version.
0: Game version: 1.12.0 - Resource version: 1.11.4
0: You might have an old Freeciv resourcefile in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults

which means that civclient version 1.12.0 is looking into the Freeciv file
in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults.  Which is not quite understandable, because
it says in the INSTALL file that freeciv first looks in the local data
directory, which has the new resource file.  However, as suggested in
INSTALL I then typed (under bash)

FREECIV_PATH="/export/freeciv-1.12.0/data:./data"; export FREECIV_PATH

since the source code directory is /export/freeciv-1.12.0, but that didn't
help either.

Does anybody have an idea why it doesn't work? Could this really be due to
the first error message of the ./configure command, i.e. "*** The
imlib-config script installed by IMLIB could not be found"?

Best regards, Laurenz Wiskott.
