Celestia In Linux Need Help

[Christophe]

You're welcome.

This is my first rpm, so there's no guaranty that it will work for you...

You don't need any of the devel packages to install it but you still need to have gnome (libgnome32-1.4.1.4-5mdk) and gtkglarea (libgtkglarea5-1.2.3-2mdk) installed.

I've just noticed that there is a dependency problem if you don't have an NVidia card... I guess that's not your case.

The data folder is /usr/share/celestia (you can do 'rpm -ql celestia' to find that out).

I'll try to put an rpm of 1.2.5beta with the KDE3 interface tonight. Check that thread later for a link.

Tht's correct. I have an Nvidia card
unfortunatelu to intsall kde 3 for me is a big pain I just go with 2. I've tryed a couple of times but i did fail.
As you can see I'm just a newbie in GNU/Linux and installing software is sometimes a big pain.
Anyway thanks again for your great help, nice nice work!
