Hi Eric,

unless I am mistaken, your personal address wont be affected, its just the address of the xephem group that would change.

Change of timezone not saved.

#3618

Getting past the Oath Advertising was my first problem, although not
why I posted.  The advertising is as intrusive and flashy as a "cheap
porn site," as a Web design manual put it.  It means that I am
effectively locked out of managing my account. Surely Verizon can do
better?

The real question is:

My TZ has changed from Summer time (UTC+11) to Winter time (UTC+10).  I
have changed the details in the GUI several times.  I have edited my
"Private directory" config file to show winter file.  Every attempt to
save the details creates a new copy of the config file with the
CORRECT new circumstances.  But nothing will make the change permanent
in the GUI.  My details in the config are as follows:

Bendigo, Australia                      ;  36 45 00 S   ; 144 20 00
E   ; 225.0 ; EST-10EDT-11,M10.1.0,M4.5.0

I would have expected a comma, or at least a space, between EST and
EDT, but I haven't tried fiddling.  The correct winter time seems to be
used, but I would be happier if the GUI was correct.  Having my winter
during American summer seems to cause problems.

XEphem on Raspberry Pi Zero W

#3617

I don't know if anyone has XEphem running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W.

My build instructions are the similar, less adding the i386 architecture.

apt install build-essential git libxext-dev x11proto-xext-dev libxau-dev x11proto-print-dev xutils-dev libtool libtool-bin gfortran-multilib libmotif-dev libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxt-dev x11proto-print-dev libxm4:i386 libuil4:i386 libmrm4:i386 libxm4 libuil4 libmrm4 libmotif-common libmotif-dev libxmu-dev autoconf tcsh libssl-dev

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/lib/libXp

cd libXp

./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libXp.so.6.2.0 /usr/lib/libXp.so.6.2.0
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libXp.so.6 /usr/lib/libXp.so.6

I then downloaded the latest version of the code, added the patch, and then compiled and installed as normal.

It works pretty well on the Pi.? It does have some hesitation.? I have it running on the Mate desktop.? I probably could have gone a bit more light weight.? It's running on a 43" flat-panel TV.

Burning 209M/434M, Load average is 1.98 (the strength of 2 processors when it only has one).

Running on Openbox:

Burning 117M/434M Load Average is 0.98.

Tests were with a 00:05:00 step and max steps with no pause.

I would say that's a pretty impressive setup.? You could potentially get a touchscreen, battery and use this as a field device.

Build Recipe for libXp on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS and 17.10

#3614

I have successfully used the following steps to build libXp and install the pre-build binary distribution fo XEphem:

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt update

apt install build-essential git libxext-dev x11proto-xext-dev libxau-dev x11proto-print-dev xutils-dev libtool libtool-bin gfortran-multilib libmotif-dev libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxt-dev x11proto-print-dev libxm4:i386 libuil4:i386 libmrm4:i386 libxm4 libuil4 libmrm4 libmotif-common libmotif-dev libxmu-dev autoconf tcsh

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/lib/libXp

cd libXp

ln -s /usr/share/aclocal /usr/local/share/aclocal

./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libXp.so.6.2.0 /usr/lib/libXp.so.6.2.0
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libXp.so.6 /usr/lib/libXp.so.6

Both distributions were x86_64.

The perl script is only for downloading the large dataset from MPC.

Meanwhile I've worked out a complete patch for this issue which allows
http or https urls for the individual files and sent it to CSI.
Hopefully it will published there.

Change the line 81 of the perl script mpcorb2edb.pl which comes with
XEphem, replace http with https.

(GUI/xephem/Makefile) and changed this line:

XLIBS = -lXm -lXt -lXext -lXmu -lX11

to this:

XLIBS = -lXm -lXt -lX11

and that worked, and I've been using that xephem for months.

I guess whatever functionality used to be needed from Xp has been
folded into some other library.

You could either try to use the deb for xephem offered on and/or install the libxp-dev package from Trusty (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) offered on in any other case helps you to search for packages and in case manually install older versions.

Are you trying to install from a package? It sounds as though your
library doesn't have the correct version. I am running Mageia, and the
-devel package isn't installed. Maybe you need the package-config file
(extension .pc) On my system, it was part of the 'devel' package.

If you are installing from source, you can symlink your existing
libxp.h to the one required.

My main RPM is libxp6, but I have only a working knowledge of Ubuntu.
