[jsword-devel] New Release

[Nic Carter]

Hi there Joe and co.  :)

Just tried to install this using the installer on Mac OS X (10.3) and 
the install went well (so it claimed) but when I first tried to run it 
it failed with the following error (once the progress bar appeared):
"
An error has occured:
Can't find resource: config.xml
"

The only abnormal thing I did was to chose to install the app to a 
non-standard folder ('Apps' within my home directory, as opposed to 
choosing the default 'Applications' in the root folder).  But that 
shouldn't cause it to not work.

Sorry, haven't had time to try work-arounds, like moving the config 
file out of the .app folder into places like my home dir, but I'm 
assuming that this is something that really wants to be fixed before 
1.0!!!  :)


thanks
	nic...  :)
