Bug Description

I am running Ubuntu 7.10 (i386) and when I installed BrutalChess via apt-get a launcher was added to Gnome's application menu, but it does not work. When you click the icon you get the error: "Could not launch menu item. Failed to execute child process 'brutalchess' (No such file or directory)."

Upon typing "brutalchess" into a terminal, it also fails with the error message: "Command 'brutalchess' is available in '/usr/games/brutalchess'. The command could not be located because '/usr/games' is not included in the PATH environment variable. bash: brutalchess: command not found."

Sure enough, manually typing in /usr/games/brutalchess brings the game up fine. The deb needs to set this up properly during installation. This occurs with brutalchess version 0.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1.

Thanks for taking the time to report this, but I'm closing it as it's not a bug in brutalchess.

/usr/games should be in the path by default, if it isn't ensure that you haven't changed it.
