[bt-devel] Bug Report (?)

[Troy A. Griffitts]

SWORD looks for it's books in a few places.  the current directory 
always takes precedence over the others.  My guess is that you were in 
your home directory when you ran bibletime and weren't when you ran 
gnomesword.

To extend your systemwide modules with module in your home directory, 
they should be placed in $HOME/.sword/, not just $HOME.

Hope this helps.
