Thanks!

I've tried it and it doesn't seem to work. Even though
setup/setup.c routines in allegro library seem to use
that #defined variable, SETUP_LANGUAGE_FILE, kraptor
uses a procedure called:

void reload_config_texts(AL_CONST char *new_language)

which is defined in src/config.c and seems to be using
"language.dat" in a hardcoded way:

      datafile = uconvert_ascii("language.dat", tmp2);

I tried to #define that item at the beginning of the
program and it doesn't seem to work. The only hack I
found to be able to make multiple languages work in
kraptor is adding in main.c the following line before
calling the language stuff:

setenv("ALLEGRO", "/usr/share/games/kraptor/",0);

But, of course, I don't like that way of fixing things
at all.

Might that be a bug in allegro library?
