Hi,
I am using astrolog with both Sarge and Etch, it installed perfectly
each
time that i installed it with a simple call to "apt-get install
astrolog"
minus the quotes of course, and with your apt-get sources.lst properly
adjusted.

This is funny. I did not know about the astrolog package.
When I got started in PC's about 20 years ago, I first wrote an
astrology program:

On M$ OS of course. I used a package from here to do it:

In those days they were open source: you got the whole works when you
bought the package. (Now no longer)
Then came Linux and then Debian and I ported everything to Linux.

Hugo,
Your chart image is fascinating and I am curious as to whether you
still have your application under development? If so I would very much
like to give it a try. I particularly like the inclusion of the
aspectarian and the legend on the face of the chart.
Sorry about the delay :-( I forget to look for past replies to posts.
I have never packaged GPC-Qt into a deb.
I'll see if I can fit a tar.bz2 on the geocities cite. It will contain
aa which does the charting.
It is GraphiC converted to Linux on top of Qt to get the rotated
characters on the wheel.
I'll let you know when I have it there.
1. wget http://www.geocities.com/hugovanwoerkom/gpcqt.gz
2. That is a tar.bz2 tarball, named .gz because of geocities
restrictions: rename it gpcqt.tar.bz2
3. Untar it into its own dir.
4. You will need installed g++, libqt3-mt-dev, qt3-dev-tools
5. It contains .pro files. In those change /home/hugo/do_aa to where you
have them installed (Sorry!)
6. Ech .pro file generates a GraphiC program:
a. qmake -o Makefile aa.pro
b. make
7. Then execute aa: that is the astrology chart program.
8. Select a 'native' with the 'open' button of 'file'
9. Natal chart = sequence button set to 'first'
Progressed chart = sequence button set to 'next'
10.Make more natives by creating .gpc_dat files with alejandr as example
These programs use GraphiC ported to Linux, originally meant for
plotters. It will bring any CPU to its knees because it generates only
lines that are use to fill, anything, even filled fonts.
Have fun.
Hugo
