Celestia Forums

Hi,

I'm trying to get celestia 1.3.0 working on Debian 3.0. First I tried the binary packages. Although there were no binary packages, I think the Suze ones are the closest to working. However I get the following error when I run the program:

Error reading configuration file.ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error!

I then tried the source package, but got the following error wher running configure:

checking GL/gl.h usability... yes
checking GL/gl.h presence... no
configure: WARNING: GL/gl.h: accepted by the compiler, rejected by the preprocessor!
configure: WARNING: GL/gl.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING: ## Report this to bug-autoconf@gnu.org. ##
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ##
checking for GL/gl.h... no
configure: error: No gl.h found. See INSTALL file for ddetails about how to correct this problem.

In the INSTALL file I couldn't find anything. In the config.log I found the following:

configure:19984: checking GL/gl.h usability
configure:19997: gcc -c -ansi -W -Wall -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -D_XOPEN_SOUR

I run configure with the following options:

configure --disable-static --with-kde --enable-kernel-threads --with-xinerama

I have XFree86 4.3.0 with NVidia drivers 1.0.4363.

Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance.

You don't need me to tell you the problem here is with GL libraries. Unfortunately I've not had a great deal of luck compiling Celestia on Debian myself either, but at least GL is one of the stages I passed.

You mention you have the nvidia drivers - did you also install their GLX components? Other than this, I can only suggest you check in dselect that you have libglut3 ande libglut3-dev installed.

I'm not sure now without a bit of testing, but I'd guess you have a little problem with a include path (gcc -E -I/usr/X11R6/include conftest.c) . Also I would check if you have the right gl.h, as it's known sometimes the nvidia driver replaces wrongly this file.

I got it working properly! Thanks a lot.

I had already tried to enter the /usr/X11R6/include path through the --with-gl-inc=/usr/X11R6/include which didn't work. As a last resort I tried the CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/X11R6/include in front of the configure script. That worked! However I got a whole lot of warnings during compilation.

Nevertheless it works. Thanks!

jsaathof, can you share your knowledge with me ?
I was trying to install Celestia 1.3.0 on my Knoppix machine (debian testing/unstable distribution)
can specify which file you have chosen and the commands you used for compiling ?
I asked for help in this forum days ago but it seems nobody here a linux-junkie to get it work on debian-wanna-be systems
I appreciate your help !

adyga:

I read your previous ask for help, but since Christophe answered you and he is far more qualified than me to respond, I didn't ask you for data... Can you send me the config.log? You can send it to jamarsa@yahoo.es.

Thanks jamarsa for proposing help well its solved now
here is a link for it:

please forgive me:oops: , anyway I guess that I can count on you on other similar problem ??
