Unable to compile Stellarium
Hi friends
I'm a newbi in this area. I'm trying to compile Stellarium source. My OS is Scientific linux 6.1. Befor I cpompile it I've made my PC ready with all the necessary libraries, as follows:
>>yum install gcc gcc-c++ libstdc++ cmake cmake-gui gettext gettext-devel mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel zlib-devel libpng-devel freetype-devel boost-devel libjpeg-devel qt-devel doxygen graphviz subversion make
Then I used these commands
>>cd stellarium-0.10.6
>>mkdir -p builds/unix
>>cd builds/unix
>>cmake ../..
>>cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/stellarium ../..
>>make
then as SU
>>make install
Then nothing happend, when I gave the command
>>Stellarium
It says command is not found!!!
How can I compile and install it?
Thank u for reading this

I assume this is what you are talking about: Stellarium
I'll download it and see what happens when building it and get back to you.Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

Ok. Built and installed version 11.1 successfully; however, the binary executable is /opt/stellarium/bin/stellarium. If you want to execute it directly you have two options:
1. Add /opt/stellarium/bin to your PATH environment.
2. Create a link from /opt/stellarium/bin/stellarium to /usr/bin: sudo ln -s /opt/stellarium/bin/stellarium /usr/bin
I did #2 and it works fine.
And BTW, I am also running SL 6.x.Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
