XEphem 3.7.7 under Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)

 

I'm trying to run XEphem 3.7.7 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan). In running XEphem the application returns a status of "application not responding." The install was successful, but XEphem won't run.

Any suggestions?

Hello Sam,

I have installed and working xephem 3.7.7 under a macbook (early 2009) running OS X 10.11.1 (Last version of El Capitan). I think you should to check the path of the binary file and directories and the XEphem file that pointed out to those files.

On Mac OS X 10.11 and so on the XEphem file should be in:?/opt/X11/share/X11/app-defaults/XEphem. This file tells the application where to look for the resource directories. But you should verify where the application binary is located. You can use the “which” ?command in a terminal to check that. Open a terminal and put this command on it: which xephem. The command have to return a line with the path of the application, for instance, in my machine:

/usr/local/bin/xephem

Obviously, “/usr/local” should be in the path.

If you know all this stuff, then check directly the binary, trying to execute the application from its bin directory, with the command ./xephem.

I hope this help.

Best,
Emilio Ortiz

Emilio,

I'm attempting to run the commercial version of XEphem. The app should be self-contained.

Hi Sam,

I tried to reply to your email several times from two different systems but every time speakeasy rejected my email. You might want to check into this.

But anyway, I don't have much useful info for you. Yours is the first report I've seen about trouble with XEphem on El Capitan. I run it here all the time with no problems also. The only thing I can think of is an issue with your xquartz installation. Can you run xlogo ok? You might try removing it and installing fresh from xquartz.org.

Maybe running XEphem from a terminal would give more clues. Cd to where you copied the XEphem.app folder, then run?XEphem.app/Contents/Resources/xephem/bin/osx/xephem and see what that says.

If you can't get it working, let me know and I'll refund your purchase in full, no worries.

Please e-mail me at my alternative e-mail address, sdupree@....

Thanx.
 

Here is what I've observed.
  1. I'm running the latest version of XQuartz, ver. 2.7.8.
  2. I've observed that XEphem will not start-up correctly if XQuartz is already running.
  3. XEphem will start up correctly provided XQuartz is not running when XEphem is started
Hope this helps.
