"Failed to load TABLES.DAT!"

  Hi.
  
  I've tried to compile the latest net_test-version in linux.
  I downloaded both files (Source of jfduke and jfbuild)
  Compiled them.
  And got the error message: "Failed to load TABLES.DAT!" when running build or duke3d.
  
  I extracted the file from the duke3d.grp and placed it to the same place I had compiled jfduke, no luck still. :/
  
  The needed libraries (libsdl & GCC) are up to date.
  
  Any idea what to do to get rid of the error? :)

  Have you tried copying the entire duke3d.grp over?

  You mean copying duke3d.grp to the same folder that includes the duke3d-binary? In that case, Yes of course.
  
  I was bored and tried the older version of the source (2004_blaablaa) and guess what?
  
  It blanks the 320x230 resolution windows, and then says "ERROR: File 'LOOKUP.DAT' not found :D (And I have copied that file to the root folder as well, of course.)
  
  Neither I am a very unlucky person, or just too dumb to operate computers.

  Of for fuck sake!
  
  I renamed the 'DUKE3D.GRP' to 'duke3d.grp' and everything seems to work just fine. :D
  
  Damn. I guess I'll try the same thing with the latest version as well.
  
  Case Closed! :)

  yeah i had the same problem with a webpage i was designing in wordpad on my computer.
  it worked just fine for me but when i uploaded it to the server and tried to browse it, it didn't like the pictures then i noticed that the .jpg files were actually .JPG files when i adjusted the html code for that it fixed the problem. thats my 1 complaint about unix
