I want to move from windows to Ubuntu and I was told that I can just
move my data files over and it should work....
I was taking baby-steps and started with the themes directory and I get this error...

Is there an easy way to fix this??
In case you were not aware, Linux and Windows don't share the same character
(/ vs \) to differentiate between subdirectories. After having gone through the exercise (Linux ->Windows and back) multiple times, just moving the files isn't enough. You must make sure that directory locations ALL have the
correct slash. Starting with ./mystic -cfg, checking all locations (I missed the QWK ones last time) and moving on to all scripts that may contain locations.
Also, make sure you follow the procedure in the upgrade.txt file in the linux version of Mystic. In there, the final step includes recompiling the mpl scripts. That "may" be what you're seeing with your error message.
