Celestia 1.3.2 (Mac OSX 10.3.9) crashes on startup

[byron]

Friends,

This is a report and requires no reply. My system is a dual-processor (1.25Ghz each) Power Mac G4 (MDD) with 1GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon 9000 (AGP) graphics card. I am running on the latest updates to the OS version I am using.

When attempting to load Celestia, I found that it would perform two of the the three splash 'travels', freezing the system on the third one and necessitating a reboot. After reading the 'Troubleshooting' section of the ReadMe, I de-rem'd the line:

# IgnoreGLExtensions [ "GL_ARB_vertex_program" ]

and this solved the startup problem.

I report this so that the development community is aware of the issue, as suggested by the ReadMe. Thanks for all, you do.

Byron
