What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. git clone git://github.com/dacap/aseprite.git
2. cmake -g "Unix Makefiles"
3. make
4. cd to /src
5. ./aseprite What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expected the program to run; I get the following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'base::Exception'
what(): gui.xml was not found
Shutting down Allegro due to signal #6
Aborted What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? ASEPRITE 0.9.1-dev
Ubuntu 11.04 (do not have admin priviledges) Please provide any additional information below. I also downloaded the .zip file, built it using the same steps, and don't get a command line error, but instead a small xwindow pops up and says: "error gui.xml not found"

I read through some similar comments mentioning that it might be that it was unzipped using a non-7zipish program, which messes up the dir structure; so I used git and still doesn't work.

Dunno. Eager to try your program though. LGPL forever, props on your project.

Hi! You are executing aseprite from "src" folder, when it's expected to be in the root directory (the directory where it's the aseprite repo clone). See this step in INSTALL.txt file: https://github.com/dacap/aseprite/blob/master/INSTALL.txt#L59 Basically you have to do a "cp src/aseprite ." after the make step and execute aseprite from the root directory.

Also I recommend you to create a "build" folder and generate the cmake makefiles right there (so you can remove all intermediate .o/.a files easily).

Beautiful! Thanks for the concise instructions and prompt reply, executes
fine now :)

Also, I apologize for missing the last step about copying the aseprite
executable to the source-dir.; fairly stupid of me --- it was a long day :P

Anyway, thanks again for the software, looking forward to playing around
with it.
