I'm the maintainer for the xephem package. A user (Joe) has reported a problem that I don't know how to troubleshoot. He also reports that:

So, I am posting a summary of his messages to me, in the hope that someone can recommend what to try next. I will forward any ideas to Joe. Joe is running OS X 10.4.9, on PPC. He reports that an attempt to build xephem fails like: gcc -L../../libastro -L../../libip -L../../liblilxml -L../../libjpegd -L../../libpng -L../../libz -g -L../../libXm/osx -L/usr/X11R6/lib -o xephem aavso.o annotmenu.o broadcast.o calmenu.o closemenu.o compiler.o coordsmenu.o datamenu.o db.o dbmenu.o earthmap.o earthmenu.o fallbacks.o favmenu.o formats.o fsmenu.o gallerymenu.o glance.o gsc.o gscnet.o helpmenu.o homeio.o hznmenu.o indimenu.o imregmenu.o jpeg2pm.o jupmenu.o listmenu.o mainmenu.o marsmenu.o marsmmenu.o moonmenu.o moviemenu.o msgmenu.o netmenu.o objmenu.o obslog.o patchlevel.o plot_aux.o plotmenu.o preferences.o progress.o ps.o query.o rotated.o satmenu.o saveres.o scope.o sites.o skybinary.o skyeyep.o skyfifos.o skyfiltmenu.o skyfits.o skyhist.o skyip.o skylist.o skytoolbar.o skyviewmenu.o solsysmenu.o splash.o srchmenu.o sunmenu.o time.o tips.o trailmenu.o uranusmenu.o ucac.o usno.o versionmenu.o webdbmenu.o xe2.o xe3.o xephem.o xmisc.o ../../ libXm/osx/libXm.a -lXp -lXt -lXext -lXmu -lX11 -lastro -lip -llilxml - ljpegd -lpng -lz -lm /usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: ../../libXm/osx/libXm.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [xephem] Error 1 ### execution of /var/tmp/tmp.0.WkA5n5 failed, exit code 2 Removing runtime build-lock... Removing build-lock package... /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -r fink-buildlock-xephem-3.7.2-2 (Reading database ... 6235 files and directories currently installed.) Removing fink-buildlock-xephem-3.7.2-2 ... Failed: phase compiling: xephem-3.7.2-2 failed dpkg -S reports that libXm.a is from the openmotif3 package, so I requested that he move /usr/local aside (he has some non-Fink stuff in there), and rebuild openmotif3. This did not solve the xephem problem. However, I now note that the build error mentions ../../libXm/osx/ libXm.a, while openmotif3 has /sw/lib/libXm.a. Different path. Now I suspect that this complaint is about the xephem-3.7.2/libXm/osx/ libXm.a that is in the xephem tarball (but not in the .deb). Just to rule out the supposedly impossible possibility of something in the xephem tarball having changed, while still having the correct MD5, I deleted my xephem tarball and tried again. It still builds OK for me with a freshly downloaded xephem tarball, on PPC. Joe had other problems with his fink installation, so he deleted the whole thing, reinstalled from binary, but the xephem build problem remains the same. I would greatly appreciate any ideas on how to troubleshoot this problem.
