It seems like its trying to autogenerate the .mapinfo files and fails to write them to disc and crashes in the process.
It should try to write the files to ~/.nexuiz/data/data/maps (if i remember correctly) can you please check permissions on those dirs? Unless you use some special startup options that could change this behaviour, Which leads us to this question: Are you using the 'official' Nexuiz242.zip or a package provided by Mandriva?

Hard drive full, or permissions error in data/data/maps.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again
You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

have the same problem, i have the Nexuiz242.zip file
if i look at the data folder (the one from the game itself) there are 2 files in it; commonspog.pk3 and data20080511.pk3.
what do i need to do exactly with the downloaded file? because the downloaded file contains ''maps.pk3'', don't know where to put them.

Unbalanced: The permissions on ~/.nexuiz and all dirs below it seems to be quite screwed up. No idea why.. Please make sure you have write/read permissions on all the existing dirs and ALSO the permission to create new files and directories. I do not use macs so i'm not sure how, but i'm quite sure it should be easy

yes, it is logic, ofcourse
but when i did it the wouldn't start up anymore.
you just get a screen with 2 options: main menu or quit, something like that.
