Celestia doesn't start :-(

Ginku · Post #1by **Ginku** » 19.07.2005, 19:48

Hi,
just wanted to start Celestia, version 1.3.2 under Gentoo Linux with
Qt: 3.3.2
KDE: 3.2.3 at the first time.

A splash windows appears for short time ("loading) then start process crashes with following output (in extracts):

tux root # celestia

Any idea what goes wrong ?

Thanks a lot !

Is OpenGL correctly set up on your machine? What does glxinfo report? Does glxgears run and with which framerate?

See the Gentoo documentation for NVidia / ATI.

Your KDE installation looks a bit old, remember that there are incompatibilities between the various versions of gcc when linking to C++ libs. You must use the same version to compile Celestia than the one you used to compile Qt and KDE.

And I think I have compiled KDE as well as celestia with my actually installed gcc compiler vers. 3.3.2.

Any more hints ? :-)

Try running "opengl-update nvidia" and then recompile Celestia.

I did it, Christophe and it's just the same as before ....

Anyway, thanks a lot.
