Run from build directory in Linux.

I just got done compiling .76b1 on Ubuntu 8.04, and I'm wondering if there's a way to run the build without breaking my current install, i.e. can I run it portably somehow?

Can you not cd to that directory and do ./spring ?

I run both a .76b1 version and a SVN version simultaneously, using a wrapper script that adjust symlinks when I launch either a lobby for regular spring or a lobby for SVN testing.

It crashes right away without ever getting into spring. I'll provide the error when I get home.

Share?

The --config command line option has been added to SVN spring.
That should make switching between versions a little bit easier.
