I wanted to start celestia (svn 5166) with a different data directory to see if my original costs performance.
The command line interface is not ready (yet) , so I was setting the environment variable CELESTIA_DATA_DIR
to point to the new directory. I got the message: "Celestia is unable to run because the data directory was not found...".
This is the fix:

As you can see I change the sanity check to proof the dir because celestia_data_dir couldn't be empty.
See you
