Post #1by neoromancer » 19.10.2007, 10:59

Hi
Sorry for my English

I have a aproblem. I cannot install addons in my Linux Ubuntu 7.04 system
I read this post http://www.celestiaproject.net/forum/viewtopic ... ight=linux and make as written there
make mkdir -p ~/Documents/Celestia/extras
and then created a .celestia.cfg file:
Configuration
{
ExtrasDirectories [ "extras" "~/Documents/Celestia/extras" ]
}


Ok. I downloaded two addons, EC_Voyager.zip and th_saturn_vol1.zip from http://www.celestialmatters.org Unzipped to ~/Documents/Celestia/extras. Start Celestia. Voyager addon work, saturn addon not work. I press SHIFT+~ and in log see that "saturn.ssc" ist not loadet. Why? How to make addons to work? In linux i'am newbie :(

I found a post here which states that the Ubuntu packages are compiled with the wrong optimisation flags (CXXFLAGS). Plus its version 1.3.2 and these guys are up to 1.4.x now. sudo apt-get remove celestia and reinstall it using the autopackage from SourceForge. Or properly you can get the source and compile it passing the correct CXXFLAGS to gcc via ./configure, make &c. If you use checkinstall perhaps you could post the deb? I probably will do so myself at some future stage as I'm uncomfortable with the autopackage route - might as well just run some setup.exe! ;D

Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), looks like the package repositories contain Celestia 1.4.1 now. Haven't tried an install yet though... still on my list of things to do.
