[amsat-bb] Re: Need help to compile Gpredict

[Joseph Armbruster]

Oscar,

After reading the posts today I figured I would go home and take a quick stab at it.  Here is what I have done and my results so-far.  Total time for these steps was about 10 minutes (and my port upgrade is still running... grrrrrrr...)  Anyhow, hopefully this helps!  I'm going to step away from the computer for a bit, when I come back later, i'll report back on the result of my final run!
