[SOLVED] Endless-Sky Unable to find the resource directories!

I just updated endless-sky. Now when it starts, I get the following error.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Unable to find the resource directories!
Aborted (core dumped)

I have tried using the --resources and --config options, both defined to ~/.local/share/endless-sky.  Same error.  I tried renaming ~/.local/share/endless-sky to see if it would create a new one.  Same error.  The core dump shows a signal 6.  I'm not sure what that means.

Can anyone tell me where to look next?

Resources are in /usr/share/games/endless-sky/ when installed from Pacman.
endless-sky -r /usr/share/games/endless-sky/

That did it.  Wonder why with this version it needs me to specify it.  I'll call this one solved.

Now if I can just get the caps lock key to work in it again.  I may open another thread on that one someday.
