Dear Bernie,
Thank you for your message. Below are the installation that the IT people tell me they have used:
sudo apt-get update
Download and uncompress the archive XEphem-3.7.7-disk1.tgz
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zeehio/libxp
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install -y libxp-dev
sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev libxmu-dev
cd Downloads/XEphem-3.7.7-disk1/XEphem-3.7.7-disk1/
Run the XEphem install script:
sudo ./linux_install.sh
Start XEphem:
xephem&
Does this sound right to you?
Yours,
Maxime
