Unable to start without root permission

Hi! Since the original author seems to be inactive, i will add issues here :)

I installed pyrocket from the ppa of zarquon42 and i cannot start pyrocket without root permission:

0 joystick(s) connected
Located blue Rocket Launcher device.
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi taris,

Running in userland works fine for me on Debian, so I'm guessing that zarquon42's package isn't installing the udev rules properly. I would suggest checking that 40-rocketlauncher.rules exists in /lib/udev/rules.d (you can grab it from this repo if you don't have it), running /etc/init.d/udev reload after the install, and mentioning this to the package author so he can fix it.

An update seems to got in - it is working just fine now :)
