13 Probably does not help you solve your problem, but I just tried here
14 and it worked for me. I am running as my normal user. The permissions
15 of the installed binary look the same as yours.

17 Where I start the game I saw some messages like:
18
19 $ scavenger
20 No /home/paul/.scavenger/!!! Setting one up...
21 No /home/paul/.scavenger/levels.scl, setting one up...
22 Trying to copy /usr/share/games/scavenger/levels.scl......copied.
23 No /home/paul/.scavenger/scavrc, setting one up...

26 Also BTW -- there is a more modern SDL-based version on the author's
27 website. I don't see any ebuild but maybe you can compile it and see
28 how it goes.
