Is it possible to have Celestia installed the normal way to /usr/local etc. and tell it to look for additional files in a different place like /home/MyHome/Celestia/extras. Of course! Just edit the celestia.cfg configuration file. You can put just as many directories for 'extras' as you want. I've ...

And don't forget beds! Deadliest instrument ever! Millions and millions of people died at its exposure!

Sorry, old joke...

I have reviewed the source of the conftest used for that test, and can't think of anything that can go wrong enough to give you a segfault. I suggest you to capture the source by inserting a copy command before the 22577 line, in the configure script: cp conftest.c /tmp/conftest_int.c and try to deb...

Could you supply the relevant portion of config.log? Something like this: configure:25791: checking size of int configure:26110: gcc -o conftest -ansi -W -Wall -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -O2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -O2 -Wall ...

Well, I was the first to offer to translate to Basque, but unfortunately I'm not fluent in that language. So, I asked the help of some friends, one of them actually teacher of euskera, but they choked a little when they saw the astronomical and technical jargon, and I'm not going to submit a partial...

But these music files you want to put in Celestia are in mp3 or midi format? http://www.shatters.net/~t00fri/images/t.jpg :lol: Bye Fridger You are a bad, bad, bad boy!!! :wink: I don't play music in my computer while running Celestia, not only because I have a very decent multi-cd player+dvd playe...

Well, I'd suggest to look at the result of the command ldd `which celestia` to discover all the dynamic libraries involved, and from there look at in which packages are those libraries...

Although it wouldn't reach the KDE crash screen if some library is missing...

Hum, sorry for bringing back this 'old' topic, but I was 'absent' for several weeks - too busy... For the following, you should be logged in as "root". CAUTION: there is no kidding around when logged in as root. Any error could seriously damage your system. Perform the described steps only if you ha...

Hah, that was fun!! Reinstalling the Microsoft drivers without asking the user and knowing perfectly that almost nobody with a little sense uses them...
Really, Microsoft always think the user is an idiot.

Congratulations, Mac!! Now I can almost see the Bay of La Concha, where i use to kayak!!

Mmm.. Another one with problems with the Linux ATI drivers? This is beginning to show a pattern...

This seems to me as a problem with the ATI driver (being the latest one doesn't always mean the best one). Did you test with another OpenGL program like, for example, glxgears, tuxracer or armagetron?

Well, sorry for the delay. I've been busy this week with taxes :cry: Finally, I was able to review the Intel driver installation script. It seems to install it's OpenGL library in /usr/X11R6/lib, and your system is pointing to the library in /usr/X11R6/lib/tls/ (perhaps the Mesa one, I don't have a ...

probably i explained in a bad way my ideas..ty No, you explained it well!! Sorry, it was my fault - I unlinked the second part of your post from the first just from seeing the image. Yes man, I'm slow tonight!! If you feel motivated, you can try to code it yourself, if you have enough information o...

The vision I 'd like to see in my Celestia is given by this photo: http://nstars.arc.nasa.gov/searches/starinfo2_image.cfm?nsname1=0318m6230 Ah, no, no. I suppose you are asking for lens flares. That is a camera artifact, and developers here like realism and accuracy - not device-distorted views, s...

Dear toadatrix: That text is what is called a CELL URL . It's a way to save and post a particular position, time and settings. That's the way you can build a list of preferred sightings, or bookmarks. The problem of CELL URLs (i.e., bookmarks) not working in SuSE Linux has been just answered by Chri...

Intel claims to be shipping OpenGL v1.3

Ups, yes, I just noticed. Just a bit slow tonight.

For being sure you are using the correct library, you should look (or submit us) the output of the command glxinfo . Well, selden, the matter is not that the Mesa library is 'limited' in features, but that they are software rendering , i.e., slow as the badguy's horse (as we say here :wink: ). I'm s...

You must take into account that there are a lot of different compiler&tool versions around there, and people don't always install all the development environment needed for Celestia. For compiling from source, both in Windows &Linux, you must check first that you meet the requirements, mostly that y...
