The compilation of ktrack fails because the math.h header is not included. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge ktrack 2.wait... Actual Results: ktrack emerge fails Expected Results: ktrack should have been installed I have atttched a patch which fixes the problem.
Created attachment 130085 [details] uptated ebuild that calls patch
Created attachment 130087 [details, diff] the patch itself that fixes the problem very simple single line change.
actually, not sure it's worth fixing... it looks a bit dead upstream.
hmm, it's also really unstable. sorry, but after I posted this fix to make it compile, I started using it and it looks like its a bit of a lost cause.
Well, we can always punt the ebuild if it's unfixable. Meanwhile, perhaps you could give these a shot? http://ktrack.lx2gt.lu/downloads/snapshots/
ok, I think I know what the problem is. I made an (albeit crude) ebuild for the snapshot, and while it does work for A0-7 satellite, it fails for ISS. I just remembered why this fails, I remember another tracking utility had to issue a patch because the keps used for tracking the ISS changed format which confused the program. Except this program doesn't appear to get its keps from the internet (which is in itself a bug - it doesn't stay up to date) it appears to use it's own file. This package looks to be pretty bug-ridden, and probably is conflicting with the latest libraries, but since it doesn't appear to be developed, they havn't been fixed. To be honnest, there are better pieces of software anyway. (for example satscape - a windows piece of software, is being ported to java to run on just about any OS) so I really think this should be pushed to one side unless someone wants to fix it?
Thanks for testing anyway. Could you suggest some alternatives before we punt it?

There is xsat (http://www.astrotrf.net:8080/xsat_blurb.html, ftp://ftp.astrotrf.com/pub/packages/xsat/), predict (http://sourceforge.net/projects/predict/), mgsn (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mgsn/). Though the last two look rather dead to me.
