Can't get xephem to work in ubuntu 20.04


 

I tried two routes, neither worked:
#1 Install using the linux_install.sh file, then run the installed version
Result: xephem: error while loading shared libraries: libXP.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Analysis: After much searching and library install attempts, this file seems long deprecated and not available for ubuntu 20.04

#2 compile from scratch using make MOTIF=../../libXm/linux86 (with the MOTFI and MOTIFL variables suitably modified in the makefile)
Result: crash because aavso.c can't find X11/extensions/Print.h The directory exists but Print.h does not because it is part of Xprint which has been deprecated since 2008 according to wikipedia.

Has anyone been able to make xephem work on ubuntu 20.04? If so how?

Thanks.?
