Yet Another Vdrift doesn't run...

Hi guys, installing the last release of vdrift in gentoo, produced this output when I try to get it started

By the way, this issue persists even when I use no -multithreaded option

Make sure that vdrift data path is correct, //usr/share/games/vdrift should contain cars, tracks, textures, ....

Actually that is the most impressive part of this error... Every file reported as an error is in the directory...

Could the double // at the beginning of the path be a problem? You can override the data directory path by setting the VDRIFT_DATA_DIRECTORY environment variable. Try setting it to the path without the extra /.
