Re: XEphem crash upon date selection
I am sorry to hear that.
I too have Ubuntu 20.04 (with Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.1), but I do not have the problem you describe. Curious to learn whether anyone else sees that difficulty.

Re: Can't get xephem to work in ubuntu 20.04

that would replace it.
There are many Astronomical programs, but, IMHO, none that do all of
what XEphem does. I guess the search

Re: Can't get xephem to work in ubuntu 20.04
I can say that the xephem installation on FreeBSD 12.1 from ports works like a charm!?/usr/ports/astro/xephem/make install clean?

Is this still a live issue?
I am running XEphem without error on 20.04.

Re: Can't get xephem to work in ubuntu 20.04
Too much is deprecated which keeps breaking stuff. It's an advantage
