All I get now is "Segmentation Fault"  -  I'm now trying to compile with the .zip source file under releases. 
And everything looks fine in debug.log..  
but it just ends at "Initializing Databases..."
I tried copying those text files to all kinds of places, (./lottoshares ./lottoshares/src ./lottoshares/database and a bunch of folders when I compiled) seems to make no difference. 
Edit:  
strace shows that it looks like its trying to open "bitcoin.txt"
then sigsegv pops up  {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0}
and  +++killed by SIGSEGV +++
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
