[SOLVED] celx scripts in Linux

Post #1by sgcb » 22.07.2012, 04:04

I'm running celestia 1.6.1 in Debian GNU/Linux and I'm unable to find a way to launch the program with a celx script passed to it. Both the FAQ and the wikibook suggest that --url script.celx parameter should be sufficient, however if I try this myself, I get:

Code: Select all

$ celestia --url test.celx
celestia: invalid option -- '-'
Usage: celestia [-v] [-f <filename>]

I've tried passing the script via the -f argument as well. This time celestia launches, but an "Error opening script 'test.celx'" message appears.
My intuition tells me linux builds of celestia may have celx script loading missing for some reason. That, or I'm missing something...

I've found the problem. For whatever reason celestia does not accept script paths relative to the current working directory. Instead $ celestia -f /full/path/to/script.celx is what works for me now. (something I thought I had tested before posting a new thread here.
