Celestia not starting in Fedora 11

[shahdharmit]

Hello,

I am Fedora 11 user. I just downloaded Celestia as I am fascinated by the outer space stuffs.

When I try to start it through the command line, I get the following error message-

Code: Select all

(celestia:5150): GtkGLExt-WARNING **: cannot create GdkGLContext


(celestia:5150): GdkGLExt-CRITICAL **: gdk_gl_window_impl_x11_make_context_current: assertion `GDK_IS_GL_CONTEXT_IMPL_X11 (glcontext)' failed
render path: 0


Can someone please tell me how to solve the issue? Thanks.

I installed it through yum. I followed all the steps that you specified in the previous post. But nothing helped. I installed nvidia drivers as per the guidance from http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1114769&postcount=1 but yet celestia gives me the following errors

Code: Select all

(celestia:3090): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:

I found one of your posts at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1212924&postcount=9
SO I am grabbing the source code right now and will try to install it. I've never had luck with installation directly from the source code. I can't go beyond

Code: Select all

./configure

Everywhere I find the instruction asking me to run

Code: Select all

make

but it always gives me an error that no targets specified. I have never installed a single software successfully through the command line.

That indeed was a big download.

from svn source https://celestia.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/celestia/trunk I couldn't find what to download.

And from the source, I already have downloaded the tar.gz. Should I do installation as per the instructions in its README file?

Sorry for making this long but I don't seem to be able to figure out what exactly I need to do...

Thanks.

I did a fresh install. I didn't like fedora 10 much.

The log file is so huge that I can't understand what to do....
I am trying to attach it with the post but it refused me from attaching .log, .txt and plain config file....

[selden]

You can attach it if you put it into a zip file, which would also make it smaller.

The underlying problem should be mentioned near the beginning of the log. One problem often causes many others.

[shahdharmit]

Here's the error log attached....

John, I did install all the devel packages when you mentioned about it earlier. Now it's the following problem. I think last line talks about the error. I checked all thos packages and they are already installed. And frankly, I don't know how to set those environment variables mentioned in the last few lines.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK_CFLAGS
and GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

It also brings up a dialogue box saying

Celestia was unable to initialize OpenGL extensions. Graphics quality will be reduced. Only Basic render path will be available.
