This version of Dwarf Fortress is unmodded.

I'm running in Linux, if that's relevant.

v0.27.169.33g

I've also checked the reactions_standard.txt and didn't find any references to gold opal.

Does it happen whenever you queue up the job?  Save?

Save only: http://rapidshare.com/files/79966381/region20071216.rar

Save + data: http://rapidshare.com/files/79966537/dwarf.rar

Okay, it's downloaded and I'll take a look at it at some point.

The jobs seem to be working fine now.  Not sure if I changed anything relevant.

The OP seems to have the same issue I have.  Here's my original post with details of the discovery of the issue: http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=003748

Summary:
It seems on Linux (using v38c; running with WINE), bituminous coal is mistaken for moss opal at the smelter and lignite is mistaken for variscite.  Basically, I can't add a coke task since smelter doesn't see the raw materials.  The manager can queue it, but when the smelter tries it, I get the error message saying I need moss opal/variscite.  I took the save from Linux and ran it on Windows and coke is made just fine.  All other tasks on Linux (so far) work fine.  So there seems to be some minor difference in how coke at the smelter works compared to the other smelt tasks (and that difference only has a problem on Linux).

This is only my first fortress on Linux, I'll see if I can find bituminous coal or lignite in another one, but that may take a while.

Edit: I can try other people's saves on Linux (with bituminous coal or lignite available) or I can send you mine.

Can't you import the raw materials from traders, or the embark screen? Certainly easier than poking around until you find a deposit.

I've had no issues with making coke from bituminous coal in previous versions.  Wine and DF seem to get along just fine for me, it's DF and ATI's crummy Linux driver that are giving me headaches.  Somewhat literally, there's a driver bug that makes the DF screen flicker black whenever any other part of the screen gets updated.

But, yeah, back on topic, Linux+Wine had no issues with coal here.

Edit: Minor grammar fix.
