Is anyone using XEphem 3.4 Astronomical Software under Suse? I have followed a link to
http://loke.as.arizona.edu/~ckulesa/xephem/
- which has rpms for download.
However it seems that they need OpenMotif. I understand that this came with Suse 7.0 Pro. Are they available for download? Where ?
Has anyone had experience setting up XEphem under Suse.
I've done both the tar setup of the file from official site before it went commerical and with SuSE's rpms. With the tar file you can put it where you want it and put an XEphem.ed file in your home directory that will hold your config. With SuSE"s I've never been able to get it to recognize the viewing site without messing up the zoom features and star sizes. JLK
