debian astrolog package tips
An astrolog.dat file should have been included with the debian astrolog
package and wasn't. It could have been put in /usr/share/astrolog. The
ephemeris files located in ephemall.zip could have joined that
astrolog.dat file in /usr/share/astrolog as well but didn't. No matter I
got my astrolog.dat out of the dos version of the package and downloaded
the ephemall.zip file and set things up on my system. After having dug
through the documentation I realized the package didn't set the ASTR
variable so it pointed at /usr/share/astrolog so an export statement later
in .bash_profile later I had the ephemeris files working using Debian.
export ASTR="/usr/share/astrolog" and now I'll probably move some things
from /usr/share/doc/astrolog into /usr/share/astrolog since those aren't
documentation files like fixplaces.ast. The ftp address in that is no
longer valid so it's more research to find a new one that will work for it
later today after I've gone to shopping and had breakfast. I have my
astrolog.dat file in my home directory for now though since that worked
earlier.
