cannot find skin '/usr/local/share/amSynth/skins/default'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use ubuntu
2. compile code with default settings (no LASH)
3. run amSynth

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- Expect: visual screen with knobs with blue background
- Result: plain window without any knobs

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- ?? empty changelog file. I guess: amSynth-1.3.2.tar.gz

Please provide any additional information below.

Did you do a 'make install' ?

If not, it would explain why amsynth can't find the resources it needs (which 
are installed to /usr/local/share/amSynth)

Yes I did. I even copied the file to that directory and it still gave the 
error. 

If you look carefully you will notice that it assumes the image to be a 
directory:
Failed to open file '/usr/local/share/pixmaps/amsynth.png': Not a directory

I'll try to checkout it again tonight and recompile it. See what happens.

It seemed I had a file with the name "/usr/local/share/pixmaps", after removing 
this, make clean and recompile everything works. Excuse me.
