dosemu-1.1.4 and /var/lib/dosemu

[Stephen Lee <splee@plexio.com>]

I've compiled dosemu-1.1.4 on a Redhat 7.2 (with all recent updates) box
with the default settings and did a systemwide installation:

./install_systemwide -fd /usr/local/dosemu/dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz -i
/usr/local/dosemu/

I then created a user account (dosemu) and ran xdosemu and got:


   DOSEMU will run in its own X window.
   To terminate it you have three choices:
   - type <Ctrl>-C _here_ (not in the dosemu window)
   - type <Ctrl><Alt><PgDn> in the dosemu window
   - execute 'exitemu' at the DOS prompt

   Hint: if you want $HOME as DOS drive D:, then use the '-home' option

Running unpriviledged in low feature mode
Linux kernel 2.4.18; CPU speed is 2019809000 Hz
Dosemu-1.1.4.0 Running on CPU=586, FPU=1
no console
CONF aborted with: 
*** error: /var/lib/dosemu does not exist
    ... giving up.

I then linked /var/lib/dosemu to /usr/local/dosemu/bin/dosemu but a that
did not fix the error. 'dosemu -D+a -o debug' dumps the following:

CONF: config variable parser_version_3 set
CONF: config variable c_system set
CONF: Parsing builtin file.
CONF: config variable version_3_style_used set

Any suggestions on what else to report or adjustments to make? I don't
recall Dosemu 1.1.3.7 giving me this problem.

Thanks,
Stephen
