I think in that case the problem was that those data files didn't exist because the scons install script didn't actually copy them over.
This is what it looks like when I start up:
Code:

My compilation process was simply:
* untar the archive
* cd to the archive
* cd to the bullet-2.66 folder
* ./configure
* jam bulletcollision bulletmath
* cd ..
* scons -j 3
* ran build/vdrift
Is that what you did?
