Or is it a bug? Hi! I installed the latest Arch Linux i686 and did a git clone from: https://github.com/plexinc/plex-home-theater-public/ After resolving all the dependencies, the build went fine; no errors. But, if I want to run it, I got: ```auto Unable to find path to XBMC data files!
Exiting Plex Media Server queue...

Hi. EDIT: Find the fix… ```auto
$export XBMC_HOME=/usr/share/XBMC
$plexhometheater
``` found it here: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/58625-gentoo-from-git-sources-pht-status/page\_\_view\_\_findpost\_\_p\_\_347113 I've got the same error on both my htpc and my thinkpad both are x86\_64 builds ```auto

You can’t use the automake buildsystem for PLEX/ht: mkdir build; cd build cmake … ; make Should get you started ---

A few weeks ago I attempted to use the buildroot for the pivos xios ds provided here [https://github.com/Pivosgroup.](https://github.com/Pivosgroup.) Which I pointed to plex ht but ran into countless issues when it started to build plex. It seems you guys have moved onto cmake and left make in the dust. ---

I would never use automake. But cmake can generate makefiles. ---
