Would appreciate any help with an install problem....

./configure completes successfully, however make fails with the following error...

Lots of crucial info is missing.

Which version are you trying to compile??? There is one in SuSE (1.2.4?), there is the official 1.2.5 and there is 1.2.6 CVS...

What did you want to configure Celestia-KDE or Celestia-gtk? I cannot see KDE libs anywhere. What were the arguments of ./configure you used? Never use both: --with-kde and --with-gtk!

That's not the first time someone reports that problem where no main() object file is linked in the final executable. There is obviously a documentation problem, but configure shouldn't produce a broken makefile in the first place. We should work on making it smarter.

I've grown a few brain cells since my original post.

I believe that the original msg was as a result of me not specifying --with-kde to configure. I still can't get celestia to compile however.

With KDE, the make phase fails horribly with lots of error messages relating to KListView. I the went on to trying --with-gtk (from a completely clean dir). This time configure fails with the following error msg...

checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... yes
checking for gdk_gl_query in -lgtkgl... no
configure: error: Unable to find gtkglarea

my gtk version is 1.2.10-284, I have the correct devel packages installed.

I've checked config.log and pasted the relevant section in below....

char gdk_gl_query ();

int

{
gdk_gl_query ();
;
return 0;
}
configure:15004: result: no
configure:15019: error: Unable to find gtkglarea

This doesn't help me figure out what's going on - perhaps it will you

By the way, I'm trying to build celestia 1.2.5 - sorry for not including that relevant piece of info from my last post.

Someone mentioned 1.2.4 was already in SuSe - I can't seem to find the package, I wonder if anyone else has a link to an RPM/ Although I would ideally like to use 1.2.5.

Again, would appreciate any help on this - Celestia looks like a great piece of software - just wish I could find out for myself

You need to have installed KDE 3.0x or 3.1x from the special SuSE KDE upgrade section if you want to run or compile celestia-kde.

Of course, I have prepared an official celestia-kde-1.2.5-1.SuSE.i586.rpm

for download on SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=132174
Note that you must also download the texture files separately.

This was properly announced in the forum. But you need a KDE3 runtime installation for it.

After you have installed the RPM, you may do in /opt/kde3/bin:

ldd celestia

which shows you what runtime libraries are missing. Note that you also need to install the qt-3.x libraries! The KDE celestia version is /highly/ recommended.

For the gtk version, apparently at least the gtkglarea package is missing. You need to install both the runtime and devel SuSE packages if you want to compile.
