lx200xed of 3.5.2 and that worked fine for me. Make sure you compile lx200xed from 3.5.2 and use that. Previous versions indeed dont work. Cor On Sat, Jan 19, 2002 at 06:49:46AM -0500, bncarper@... wrote:

Well, you dont mention how you got 3.5.2. I assume a source archive.

Just make sure that you dont have an old lx200xed hanging around and are definately using the one from 3.5.2. Just type 'make' in the tools/lx200xed directory and put the binary someplace. Cor On Sat, Jan 19, 2002 at 01:10:12PM -0000, bobngc2157 wrote:

I have now deleted everything and rebuilt the source, no problem.
There is an executable lx200xed file in the build. When I now try running the LX200 I get "unexpected exit, check the /root/xephem/lx200xed.log" file. Do I have my files in the wrong locations and where are they supposed to go? Bob --- In xephem@y..., Cor Bosman <cor@x> wrote: Well, you dont mention how you got 3.5.2.

In SuSE Linux this is /usr/X11R6/bin IN Red Hat probably somewhere else.

I have the same problem in MacOSX. The lx200xed binary is in

/usr/local/bin, but that is not in the default PATH. Move the binary, or fix your PATH. IMHO, XEphem should not rely on PATH to invoke the driver. It should know where it installs the driver, remember the full path in the Telescope*Process resource, and invoke the driver with execv rather than execvp. Also, if the exec fails, an error message should be printed before exiting. Richard --- In xephem@y..., "bobngc2157" <bncarper@c...> wrote:
