1. Sorry for my bad English
2. The distributive is Slackware 10.0 on kernel 2.6.8.1 and with
Xorg 7.0 and some other small changes (other zlib etc)...
3. But configure is OK.
Configure output is:

Exactly the same problems I'm seeing here. kde 3.5, xorg 3.6.9. If I try to build with the gkt+2 frontend, it dies at the configure stage, because when testing the linking of libjpeg, it doesn't link pangox and libgtkglext needs pangox and not pango.

OK, I got a fix for this (I am on slackware 10 base, with GCC 3.4.6 - I get the smae error). I don't know why it happens, as I am not an expert C++ coder, and reading somebody elses C++ code is impossible anyway...

in your favourite text editor, open up:

src/celestia/kde/celsplashscreen.cpp

and change this (around line 58 ):



to this:



It will now all build OK. When installed, the splashscreen will show 'Slackware Build' in the bottom right hand corner.

You may also get problems installing... I had to remove all traces of 1.3.x and then install celestia 1.4.1 in a new location for a clean install (I did hack the Makefile a bit, but then you have to move some stuff around manually, which isn't right).

Hope that helps.
