Not sure about that one. It should fall back to the /etc/sword.conf if
SWORD_PATH is not set. However, if you compile sword withouth either
"configure --sysconfdir=etc"
or running
"usrinst.sh"
instead (does the same), then sword will not look for /etc/sword.conf, but
rather /usr/local/sword.conf. Try one of the above and it should work.
SWORD_PATH is still possible and can be used to override the system's global
settings.
