I do not understand what happens, the code is very straightforward:

	FileName const filename = libFileSearch(string(), 
"unicode_alphanum_variants");
	LYXERR(Debug::MATHED, "read variant symbols from " << filename);
	if (filename.empty()) {
		lyxerr << "Could not find variant symbols file" << endl;
		return;
	}

Is the file readable? Could it be a permission problem?
