Linux: srb2.pk3 was not found or not valid.

[mr-bones]

I built SRB2 from source successfully and also cloned the assets and put them both in SRB2/bin and $HOME/.srb2. When I launch the game wither from SRB2/bin or the symlink I created I get an error: I_Error(): /home/username/.srb2/srb2.pk3 was not found or not valid.

Here is the full log:
