[SOLVED] Building database for X-Plane 10 stuck on "Preparing database <...>"

Greetings!

My setup is:
- X-Plane 10 on Linux
- Windows 7 with Plan-G 3.0.7.71 running in VirtualBox

I created a network drive in VirtualBox pointing to the X-Plane 10 installation (to make Plan-G recognize the folder, I additionally unpacked X-Plane.exe into the directory). So, I set X-Plane directory in Plan-G, pressed "Build navigation database" and... it's stuck.

I'm seeing the "Preparing database for new data // Processing, please wait" for 30 minutes.
What can be done?

Ok, I solved it. The problem was that "My Documents" folder was also networked (to be shared with the Linux system).
After moving "My Documents" to C:, database building proceeded.

However, it crashed in the end, so I'm creating another topic... :)

Yes, it really doesn't like  relative links in some paths. This will hopefully be fixed in 3.1.
