Bug Description

running smc from terminal produces

Initialization: Exception raised: boost::filesystem::directory_iterator::construct: No such file or directory: "/usr/share/games/smc/campaign"

And of course the directory does not exist.

In summary I tried to run smc (which I got from software center) by using the menu item, and it crashed instantly.
I then tried to run it from the terminal to see what it said, and got the information above. I was hoping the game would work.
thanks

Hi !

same problem under kubuntu 13.04 (64 bits) and same solution to create a folder.

sudo mkdir /usr/share/games/smc/campaign

smc starts fine after :)
