Compile problem with gl_globals.h

I tried compiling vegastrike and got the following errors.

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -DHAVE_SDL=1 -DSDL_WINDOWING=1 -DHAVE_AL=1 -I/usr/include/python2.3 -DHAVE_PYTHON=1 -DUSE_BOOST_131=1 -I../../src/boost129 -I../../src -pipe -falign-loops=2 -falign-jumps=2 -falign-functions=2 -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -pthread -pipe -c gl_globals.cpp

I remember playing vegastrike quite a while ago and was interested in trying this new release. Any ideas for this problem?

Here is the related wiki FAQ page to this compilng problem:

If that doesn't help, look at some threads about this topic:

Thanks for the help, don't know why I didn't check that FAQ first. Now I've got a slightly different problem. Everything compiles fine and I've done the setup and everything, but when I try to start a new game, it fails. It complains it can't load factions.xml. I think the problem is somewhere here.

GOT SUBDIR ARG =
Found data in ..
Using /home/gilg/.vegastrike as data directory
Found MODDIR = /home/gilg/.vegastrike/mods
USING HOMEDIR : /home/gilg/.vegastrike As the home directory
CONFIGFILE - Found a config file in home directory, using : /home/gilg/.vegastrike/vegastrike.config
DATADIR - No datadir specified in config file, using ; /home/gilg/.vegastrike

~/.vegastrike isn't my data directory, ~/vs/data is. I guess setting DATADIR in the config file would fix it, but I'm not sure how? Thanks for the help again.

If you didn't set a datadir thing when you ./configured it, vegastrike assumes that your datadir is the directory you are currently in.

Try running vegastrike from ~/vs/data/bin
