Re: Cannot get to run on MAC running macOS Mojave 10.14.3

All that other stuff is for other types of systems, just ignore it. For macOS you just find XEphem.app in Finder and double-click it. That¡¯s it, really.

Well, you do need to first install .

Elwood, I did as you suggested and still no juice; I suspect I am loading thing in the wrong places or some such; as a clue, I provide the following show of a terminal window contents:

I am not very computer literate and the directions on installing and README seem a bit sparse for an ignorant cuss like me.

It acts the same whether I try to run the app from the Download folder, or the path listed above...

Would there be any instructions that are very explicit and step by step for folks like me?


Thanks!

Hi David,

I suspect it is an xquartz problem, not xephem. I'm having no problem using the standard xephem??and xquartz??on?macOS 10.14.3. I suggest you remove all vestiges of both and install fresh.
