[amsat-bb] Re: Anyone running a PREDICT server I can test access with?

That was it.

Because it was missing those two files, it just couldn't do anything
which caused the closers and crashes.

I can't explain it WHY those two files would not be included but it
seems to the way things are done when setting up for the repositories.

Thanks,

Toss them in your ~/.predict directory, and see if that helps.  We're on different versions, but hopefully they didn't change much.

I cd to the directory where the program is (where it was compiled), and run it from there.  The TLE and QTH files are in ~/.predict, which, of course, I have r/w access to (mode 755).  The files themselves are 644.  If I recall, everything was done from my own account, not root.
