starting celestia

[terpic]

I have installed celestia on Suse 9.1 using the RPM's how do I get it to run?
I tried by typing celestia in a terminal but got this error: error while loading shared libraries: celestia: undefined symbol: -ti 11k MainWindow.
does anyone know what went wrong?
thanks for any help.

Which RPMs did you install? Maybe you want to try these:

I installed the new rpm's and this time I have a file which executes celestia but it crashes and in a terminal I get this error:

Unable to resolve GL/GLX symbols - please check your GL library installation.
celestia: ERROR: Communication problem with celestia, it probably crashed.

any ideas as to what libraries I need?

The GL-library? You may be able to run Celestia after installing the Mesa-library (package "XFree86-Mesa"), but I didn't try. This will be very slow (it's not hardware accelerated). For NVidia-based graphics cards you can get a hardware-accelerated driver from Nvidia (I think ATI has one for their cards too), but be careful when instaling it

Don't know there are more libraries missing on your system though...

I think I have solved it with help from another thread as well, there seems to be a conflict between the qt3 3.3.1-36.5 libraries, supplied by Suse9.1 and celestia, I installed the rpm, which came with Suse for qt3 3.3.1-33, everything seems to be working fine, exept celestia crashes instead of exits, when I hit the exit button, I will have to live with that.
Also didn't realise I was logged in as guest last time
':oops:'

Thanks for your help.

Suse has updated the update for qt3 for Suse 9.1 and now Celestia will work. Their was an open gl problem with last qt3 update. Only problem now is that it still crashes on exit like before. Get a segment fault everytime. It would be nice to know how to fix this problem. Also why doesn't the bookmark tabs work, like before. I click on Mars flyby and nothing happens.

This is an incompatibility between Celestia 1.3.1 and recent KDE/QT-versions. You either have to wait for 1.3.2, or compile Celestia yourself.
