A plea to devs to fix the Linux 3.06 patch

[Gandalf Parker]

LINUX TECHNICAL CRAP: stop reading here if you dont want a headache

try typing...
dom3 -Tv
and then try typing
/usr/local/games/dominions3/dom3_x86 -Tv
(or whatever the appropriate version is for you). See if they agree on the version number. You might have a link to an older version.

You might walk thru the links. That messed me up in the past and took awhile for me to figure out. Such as, on MY machine, there is a softlink on the $PATH
/usr/local/bin/dom3
and if I go to that directory and do an "ls -l dom3" thenI see
lrwxrwxrwx dom3 -> /usr/local/games/dominions3/dom3
and doing a "ls -l dom3" of /usr/local/games/dominions3/dom3 shows me that its a softlink to dom3_x86.

But on one patch, I found that the first link was hard instead of soft. It showed /usr/local/bin/dom3 as a file with a size. That meant that my upgrade to /usr/local/games/dominions3 was ok for all of the files except the executional one.
