Compiled fine on Debian unstable. It's been a while since I compiled XEphem so I didn't have all the development packages and had to install: sudo apt-get install x11proto-print-dev libxp-dev After installing the executable, I realized I hadn't updated my catalogs in a while, so I did some diffing to make sure I wasn't overwriting any of the catalogs I have from the paid version, and just happened to notice this line in Messier.edb: M6\|NGC 6405\|OCL 1030\|ESO 455-SC30\|Butterly cluster,f\|O\|T3,17:40:20,-32:15:0,4.2,2000,1980 Should that be "Butterfly" rather than "Butterly"? Thanks, as always, for XEphem! ...Akkana
[email protected] #3458 Great catch! I'll make the change and start a new release candidate ready in another three years :-) BTW, the gentleman mentioned in that catalog,?Guillermo Andrade, who did a lot of great data preparation for me over the years, was shot and killed in a robbery a few years ago. He was just waiting in a shop for morning donuts when suddenly a robbery went very wrong. I was stunned to hear the news from his widow and still feel the pain to this day. The world is such a mixture of the great and the terrible. Have a good day everyone, you never know what will happen. Elwood? ?
