1) ufoai-2.3.1-source.tar.bz2

2) Fedora 14

3) run uforadiant from a directory different than the one that contains its files

looking at the problem in gdb:

Breakpoint 1, environment_init () at src/tools/radiant/radiant/environment.cpp:56
56 StringOutputStream path(256);
(gdb) until
60 path << DirectoryCleaned(g_get_home_dir()) << RADIANT_HOME << RADIANT_DIRECTORY;
(gdb) until
62 g_mkdir_with_parents(path.c_str(), 0775);
(gdb) until
63 home_path = path.c_str();
(gdb) until
65 path.clear();
(gdb) until
67 const char *appPath = PKGDATADIR"/"RADIANT_DIRECTORY;
(gdb) until
68 if (g_file_test(appPath, (GFileTest)G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR) && g_path_is_absolute(path.c_str())) {
(gdb) print path.c_str()
$6 = 0x31e9a00 ""
(gdb) print appPath
$7 = 0x968501 "/usr/share/ufoai/radiant/"


/usr/share/ufoai/radiant/ is a dir, but the second part g_path_is_absolute(path.c_str()) is always false when there is path.clear(); just above the test

the following patch seems to fix the issue for me:
