Description of problem: the main exec call that occurs at the point you hit the "Run" button is missing the path to the executable /usr/bin/fgfs Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fgrun-1.6.1-2.fc17.x86_64 FlightGear-2.6.0-2.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. fgrun 2. click through to 3rd screen 3. hit run Actual results: The third screen shows the following command line: /usr/bin/fgfs --fg-root=/usr/share/flightgear --fg-scenery=/usr/share/flightgear/Scenery --airport=KSFO --aircraft=CitationX --disable-random-objects --disable-ai-models --disable-real-weather-fetch --enable-fullscreen (If this command line is pasted into a wrapper script and run by itself it launches OK.) Upon hitting "Run", a log window pops up with "execve: no such file or directory" Running this using strace shows that the filename argument is missing: execve("", ["", "--fg-root=/usr/share/flightgear", "--fg-scenery=/usr/share/flightge"..., "--airport=KSFO", "--aircraft=CitationX", "--disable-random-objects", "--disable-ai-models", "--disable-real-weather-fetch", "--enable-fullscreen"], [/* 41 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)^M Running as "fgrun --fg-exe=/usr/bin/fgfs" does not help. Additional info: 1. fgrun would normally be expected to bring up a first screen in which the paths can be set. This is not shown. 2. The advanced options dialog box shows that the executable is "NOT SET", even when --fg-exe is passed. This dialog does not allow settings to be changed.
