[SOLVED] celestia on arch 64 doesn't work

does it work for anyone? from the menu it appears in the taskbar then disappears.  console reads this:

(celestia:2795): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Cannot chdir to '${prefix}/share/celestia', probably due to improper installation.

(celestia:2795): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_size_request: assertion `width >= -1' failed
Error reading configuration file.

any idears?  thanks

Re: [SOLVED] celestia on arch 64 doesn't work

Same on my system

I asked google without a helpfull response. Gentoo and Fedora packages don't patch much more than we do. In the Gentoo ebuild is mentioned that there are issues known when compiling with commercial nvidia driver installed. This could be the reason as I have nvidia installed on my system.

Can you check it with recompiling without nvidia driver installed? Or I will do it later in my chroot environment.

Re: [SOLVED] celestia on arch 64 doesn't work

that shouldn't really matter.. i'm kind of a celestia geek and used to compile it myself a bit under suse x86_64 and it worked fine there.  actually now that i remember the issue was with gcc 4, which needed a patch to get it to work.  are you using this already since it compiles? i'll try to find it.

Re: [SOLVED] celestia on arch 64 doesn't work

maybe it's something with the 32-bit opengl "compatibility libraries" the driver asks to install? i used the nvidia driver when compiling under suse and it worked.

Re: [SOLVED] celestia on arch 64 doesn't work

this works, i think we can track it down somehow:

$ celestia --dir=/usr/share/celestia

also, why i s it passing back {prefix} instead of /usr?  that seems odd..

$ celestia --help-all

  celestia [OPTION...]

Re: [SOLVED] celestia on arch 64 doesn't work

andy-- i opened up a thread on celestia's shatters.net for this issue, they're thinking it's a build system problem with automake and autoconf, setting the path wrong in the makefiles.  here's the link for the thread: http://shatters.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=74789

does that help at all?  check this out:

$ strings /usr/bin/celestia | grep usr
/usr/share/locale

$ strings /usr/bin/celestia | grep share
${prefix}/share/celestia
/usr/share/locale

$ strings /usr/bin/celestia | grep prefix
${prefix}/share/celestia

hope that helps,
karsten

Re: [SOLVED] celestia on arch 64 doesn't work

hi i just wanted to let you know it works now with a little workaround that can be put into the PKGBUILD .  abor over in the celestia group came up with this:

for mfile in $(find ./ -name Makefile) ; do
        TmP=$(<mfile> "$mfile"
    done
    echo "End of write. Run "${0/*//} -p" to check." ;

here's a modified PKGBUILD; i had to take out the 'make || return 1' because it was messing up the script, it just does a straight make install:

    for mfile in $(find ./ -name Makefile) ; do
        TmP=$(<mfile> "$mfile"
    done
    echo "End of write. Run "${0/*//} -p" to check." ;
    echo "";

    make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
    # rm $startdir/pkg/$pkgname.schemas
}
