Created attachment 350422 [details, diff] Patch for earthtrack.c After emerging =sci-astronomy/predict-2.2.3-r1 by issuing: USE="doc nls xplanet" emerge =sci-astronomy/predict-2.2.3-r1 I tried the earthtrack utility but I get: *** Error: Could not read "/usr/local/share/xplanet/config/default" Is xplanet installed? xplanet is pulled by =sci-astronomy/predict-2.2.3-r1 ebuild but the config files are installed under /usr/share/xplanet/config/ By applying the attached predict-2.2.3-r1-earthtrack.patch and starting the predict server I managed to run earthtrack, but I get: Warning: Xplanet was compiled without FreeType support. Ignoring text: W1AW Warning: Xplanet was compiled without FreeType support. Ignoring text: OSCAR-7 ... So I modified the ebuild (attached patch) to include an RDEPEND on xplanet[truetype] and added some || die commands and now it works fine here.
