RE: [amsat-bb] ktrack compile problem

You must put the nasa.tle file in the exact place the README
file tells you to  


.kde/share/apps/ktrack/nasa.tle


Mine runs fine.

Luc:

Well, I tried it here at work on a redhat 8 system. After I
added all of the packages it required, it came up ok.

Couple of questions, though. It doesn't seem to know where
the nasa.tle file is, because no satellites show up in the
window to be added.

Also, I entered the lat/lon of my QTH and was surprised to
find I live somewhere near Greenland!
