Problem with Flare+Desura+Arch Linux 64bit

Hi everyone :)

I discovered the game through Desura and I had some issues. I posted this on the Desura page and I've been told to head here, so here I am :)

Copypasting what I've wrote on Desura already:

I'm on Arch Linux x64, I tried to get it to work by installing the various 32bit libraries (any chanches for a native 64bit build?)... Anyway, I managed to launch it, but only if I go to command line, cd to the install directory (/opt/desura/common/Flare) and execute './flare' from there. Trying to launch from Desura, it complains about a missing libjpeg.so.62 (which actually exists, and I have no clue where it's searching it). Trying to launch the game via command line using the full path from anywhere outside of the Flare directory results in a "Error during ModManager::loadModList() -- couldn't open mods/mods.txt" error.
I hope this can be fixed, because I had no luck with the Arch linux AUR package either (the download keeps getting interrupted halfway and can't be resumed).

So, that's it. It looks like a problem with paths, I think? Since it seems related to what the current directory is when the game executable is launched...
