In the version I have "rh-mirror.redhat.com/redhat/powertools/6.1/i386/xmame-0.36b1.1-2.i386.rpm" the global config file is installed in the wrong place or the compiled-in path to it is wrong. It is installed in "/usr/lib/games/xmame/xmamerc" but it searches it in "usr/games/lib/xmame/xmamerc" as one can tell when running "xmame.x11 -h"
Where are you getting xmame.x11 from? Here is a file listing from that package: $rpm -ql xmame /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1 /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/Changes /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/LEEME.unix /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/MailList.notes /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/README.fx /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/README.unix /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/README.xgl /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/TODO /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/cheat.dat /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/cheat.doc /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/credits.unix /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/gamelist.txt /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/history.dat /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/liesmich.unix /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/multiplayer-readme.txt /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/readme.dos /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/whatsnew.txt /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/xmame.man /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/xmamerc.dist /usr/doc/xmame-0.36b1.1/xmamerc.dist.i386 /usr/games/mamex /usr/games/xmame /usr/lib/games/xmame /usr/lib/games/xmame/xmamerc Tim
I've got the one from the powertools/6.1 The version is xmame-0.36b1.1-2.i386.rpm I know how the file-listing of it looks... Read the problem carefuly please!
i have started xmame -h and here is the outputs: .... Files: /usr/lib/games/xmame/xmamerc Global configuration file ${HOME}/.xmame/xmamerc User global configuration file ${HOME}/.xmame/<game>rc Game-dependent user configuration file it's ok. it searchs configfile in /usr/lib/games/xmame/xmamerc!
Sorry that I've bothered you! Seems like I have made a mistake for the 1st-time ever, and have confused the self build one with the one in the premade rpm... But if you would have read it carefully you would have noticed this... I'm speaking of "xmame.x11 -h" that one is build for X11-ONLY and that is a different one as in your RPM... I was using the beta6 ... So again sorry guys...
