Linux compatibility with .x files?

I succeeded in coompiling an Irrlicht game of mine under linux and the models (.3ds) etc work, but the engine can't load .x files (It says that in the console window: cant load model map.x. BTW I only tried .x files created under windows, they work with irrlicht under windows, but It can't be that. I have version 0.6). I don't think the file permissions are wrong, but can there be something else what's wrong?

Irrlicht supports only text X meshes, so maybe the problem is in different handling of an end of line in Windows and in Linux.

yup...probably...grab some text editor that allows windows--> linux type of end of line formatting...

I had several in the past,(there are loads, and free) for windows, but surely there's some also in linux world...

i loaded an .x file in linux and it worked ok, but it was created on linux,
so warul and vermeer are probably right

Hm, I tried the .x file which comes with the sdk, but it works on both operating systems for me. But my parsers (the xml parser too) seem to have always problems with the line formatting..

indeed, I'm suspecting this since some time...but I was unsure...
