[Solved]Linux 64: Missing cursor/content OTA installed

[osymandias]

Spring-svn compiled on Arch64 using CMake. There appear to be two issues:

• springcontent.sdz and bitmaps.sdz do not match those generated by the installer - this has also been reported when compiling from the 0.76.1 source though I myself have not done this. For example, bitmaps.sdz built by the compiler gives an additional category 'caustics'. I'm not sure if this is causing any problems.
• Main problem: there appear to be frequent 'Missing cursor' and 'incorrect/missing content' messages. CA fails with a 'Missing cursor' message desipte OTA content being installed and working for other mods requiring it. XTA fails with "could not load texture from file bitmaps/directionalspark.png". Maximum Annihilation likewise fails on "bitmaps/muzzlespark.png". These images seem to be present but in .tga format or .bmp in place of .png.

Steps to reproduce:

Install spring-svn from AUR on Arch64.
Install ota content and one of the above named mods.
Try to start a game.

this is a more or less known issue; for now, download base files from http://planetspring.free.fr/spring/base/.

Some things:
[*]Be sure your svn checkout is up-to-date and clean
[*]Delete existing *.sdz-files from your svn directory (trunk/game/base). The script only updates files to the archives and don't deletes them

I've just done a clean checkout and build from svn, and replaced the content files with those from http://planetspring.free.fr/spring/base/. The problem persists in the same manner. If I enable logging to console, I get the following string of errors (this when trying CA r2894):

The list goes on. Again, it seems to be looking for cursor files in png format when all I have are bitmaps.

Aha! Fixed!

Turns out it's an error in a 64-bit build of devil.

Thanks for all your help.
