Thanks, Gilbert. That is what I expected to happen.Maybe, if I install
from the tarball, I will see what the error is.

For what's it's worth I recently installed Xephem 3.7.7 on a fresh 64
bit Fedora 33 system from the XEphem-3.7.7-disk1.tgz file.
I had to install Motif and I did that with the dnf command:
????????????? sudo install motif.x86_64, motif-devel.x86_64,
motif-static.x86_64.
I had no issues and it actually runs.

I have the originakl XEphem-3.7.7.
Today I tried to update it to the latest release and had 2 issues:
(a) Firstly, I downloaded the 2019 magnetic variation file (the
address on the NOAA site has changed), and copied it to replace the
old one, in /usr/lib/. The file apparently can't be read; the
magnetic variation should be +7.4, and a figure in that range is
shown in the new file, but the program now shows +0.0. I checked
the ownership, and the permissions are standard.
(2) I then downloaded the SRPM for Fedora, and tried to configure it
for my distro (Mageia) The RPM builder keeps saying that the
dependency libXmu-devel isn't met (32-bit or 64-bit.) I had
installed both. No version is mentioned in the spec file.
*System, Mageia 8 (just released) running 64-bit. Routinely accepts
spec files for PCLos and Fedora.
