I coulnd't reproduce your bug, but at least I know where the problem is.

Please try the following:

- Edit the file ~/.ppracer/options.  At the very begining there should
  seems to be the following:

set data_dir "/usr/local/share/ppracer/"

- Please change that to:

set data_dir "/usr/share/games/ppracer"

  and see if ppracer starts now.

For some reason your configuration file seem to point to the wrong
directory.  I don't know why, but that should have corrected it, and
ppracer should now start.  If it does not, please mail me your
~/.ppracer/options, if it does please help to find out, why your
configuration file was wrong.

The easiest explanation for me would be, that you once run an other
ppracer version than the one of the Debian package (which installed it's
data files in a different directory).  Do you had once ppracer compiled
by your own?  Or do you share your home directory with other GNU/Linux
distributions?  Or something similar?

If you didn't did anything like that, let's check a bit more... let's
see.  Out of curiosity, it would be interesting, if you send me the
output of "ls -ld  ~/.ppracer/*".

And let's see, if it works... first save your old .ppracer in a
different location: "cd ~ ; mv .ppracer .ppracer-old".  If you now start
ppracer, it can't find the configuration file, and will create a new
one.  So please runn ppracer, quit the game, and see where the "set
data_dir" in your .ppracer/options points to.  If it points to
/usr/share/games/ppracer everything is fine, and if you realy didn't run
an other binary before, I realy don't know, why you had a wrong entry in
the configuration file.  If it still points to something in
/usr/local/... there is something realy wrong...


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
