No rendering menu?
No rendering menu?
I'm running Celestia 1.4.1 on my Linux box (Ubuntu w/KDE.) The topic says it all. In the menu bar with file, view and the rest, there is no "render" menu. Any help would be appreciated.

If you click on the options tab, 3 options should be visible. The third is OpenGL Render Path.
If your cursor is positioned over that tab, another menu should drop down showing the available render paths for your hardware. If they are all greyed out, this probally means that they are unavailable for some reason. If you want to change render paths and those menu items are not there, try pressing the control + v keys at the same time. If none of this works, you probally have to upgrade your grahics card and/or the drivers for it. You should also check to see if your graphic card is fully activated. With Suse 10, this would mean going into Yast and configuring your graphics card. Not sure about your flavor of Linux.

Missing menu entries might have something to do with the directory where Celestia is installed, at least in the KDE version. On my Debian system I have had to use the --prefix=/usr option for configure.
Alternatively you can set the path where KDE is searching for resources so that your used prefix (default is /usr/local) is included. The environment variable is called something like KDE_DIRS, but I don't remember exactly, as I'm using Gnome myself.
