[pygame] Playing a midi: timidity.cfg not found

[Gerrit Holl <gerrit@nl.linux.org>]

Hi,

when I'm trying to play a midi, I get:

pygame.error: timidity.cfg: No such file or directory

The library is looking for timidity.cfg in the following places:
$ grep "^open.*cfg" brian.strace*
brian.strace:open("timidity.cfg", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
brian.strace:open("/usr/local/lib/timidity/timidity.cfg", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I have a timidity.cfg in the following places:
20:56:30:7:gerrit@stopcontact:/tmp$ locate "timidity.cfg"
/etc/timidity.cfg
/usr/share/man/man5/timidity.cfg.5.gz
/usr/share/apps/kmidi/config/timidity.cfg
/usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg

A workaround could be to ln -s timidity.cfg in the current
directory, but that is *extremely* unsatisfying. Does anyone
have a hint?

yours,
Gerrit.
