x11-misc/xplanet-1.1.1 does not appear to install all planet graphics. As my user, or also as root: $ xplanet -num_times 1 -geometry 2048x1548 -output xplanets-test.tiff -body io Warning: Can't find io.jpg in xplanet/images /home/me/.xplanet/images /usr/share/xplanet/images Warning: Can't find map file io.jpg Warning: Can't load map file io.jpg Warning: Can't find jupiter.jpg in xplanet/images /home/me/.xplanet/images /usr/share/xplanet/images Warning: Can't find map file jupiter.jpg Warning: Can't load map file jupiter.jpg In this case, the resulting image is just a single shade of brown occupying the entire image. In other cases, such as -body mars , mars.jpg is not found, but you end up with a shaded sphere of the same color as above. Seems to be hit and miss which image files were installed. # emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.1, glibc-2.3.4.20041006-r0, 2.6.10-as2-grsec-20050124 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-as2-grsec-20050124 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r6,sys-devel/autoconf-2.13 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r2,sys-devel/automake-1.5,sys-devel/automake-1.4_p6,sys-devel/automake-1.6.3,sys-devel/automake-1.7.9,sys-devel/automake-1.9.3 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r2 Headers: sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.22 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.10-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fstack-protector -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fstack-protector -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig buildpkg ccache distlocks notitles sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.netnitco.net/pub/mirrors/gentoo/source/ http://gentoo.blueyonder.co.uk ftp://mirror.iawnet.sandia.gov/pub/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X aalib alsa apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr chroot crypt curl dv dvd dvdr emboss encode f77 fam flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib java jpeg kde ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png pwdb python qt quicktime readline samba sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts xml2 xmms xv zlib"
Intended to include this with original posts. Reading the man page for xplanet , under the -body option, I've gone through and tested every item listed there. Here are the ones that were NOT found: mercury venus moon mars phobos deimos jupiter io europa ganymede callisto saturn mimas enceladus tethys dione rhea titan hyperion iapetus phoebe uranus miranda ariel umbriel titania oberon neptune triton nereid pluto charon As can be seen, this is a vast majority of the bodies.
Anyone home? Over four months now.
Same problems with 1.2.0.
Resolving to Later due to no response.
This is still a problem nearly two years later. Is there any intention of fixing it?
(In reply to comment #3) > Same problems with 1.2.0. Err, perhaps because none of this is actually included in xplanet source file and manpage is invalid?

I mean, unless you draw us this graphics or tell us where to find it.. what do you expect? :-)
Well, I never expected the manpage to be wrong, good catch. Sorry about all the noise then.
