Bug installing to /usr/local

[adiemus]

When installing celestia on a RedHat 9 box (with either kde 3.1 or kde 3.1.4), if you just run:
./configure;make;make install
you end up with a working celestia, but no bookmarks and almost no menus. If you run:
./configure --prefix=/usr;make;make install
then everything works as you'd think it would.

It also works as it should if you symlink /usr/local/share -> /usr/share

I'm not sure if this is a celestia bug or a kde bug, but it is rather annoying. You should be able to install celestia anywhere, and have it find its menus and bookmarks.

You have to install celestia in your KDEDIR directory or in one of your KDEDIRS directory.

You probably need to add:

Code: Select all

export KDEDIRS=/usr:/usr/local

to your .bashrc

thanks. i was having this problem just now as well. i'll be glad to get all those menus back

FYI that did the trick

[galileo@tycho celestia]$ export KDEDIRS="/usr:/usr/local"
[galileo@tycho celestia]$ celestia

boom all the menus are back. throwing that one in my .bashrc right now.
