+<PRE>Hi there!
+
+We, at last, understood the problem of the 'data/' bug on linux.
+In fact, in our rawdatafiles, there are some empty file names and in our
+program, we try to find where these files are located.
+For that, we use a function (CPath::lookup()) that tries to find the file in
+all directories provided before by the user.
+To know if a file exists, we try to open it and if the opening success, we
+return true (CFile::fileExists()).
+When the prog tries to find the file &quot;&quot;, first it calls fileExists(&quot;&quot;) that
+returns false.
+Next step, it tries with the first directory in his list,
+fileExists(&quot;data/&quot;+&quot;&quot;); On windows, the OS can't open the directory
+(&quot;data/&quot;)
+so it returns false. On linux, it can, so it returns true and the program
+tries to read the directory as if it was
+a texture, and of course, it fails (end of file).
+
+We fixed the problem by adding this next line in the top of the function
+string CPath::lookup( const string&amp; filename ) in path.cpp:
+
+ if(filename.empty())
+ throw EPathNotFound( filename );
+
+Of course, we put it on cvs and it will be synchronized this night (GMT+1).
