Which is precisely the reason I've tried to keep everything under paths that have "astrometry" in them; as has already been pointed out (and as you point out below), a.n isn't really (at this point) designed for portability and/or 3rd party vendor distribution. I actually shuddered when I realized there would be a "cygbackend.dll", as it sounds ALL wrong :-) > /usr/share// is usually used for other, more extensive data files and > support -- e.g. that's probably where your star catalog files (indexes?) > ought to go.

That's odd, I was building and installing it all night last night and the folder was being updated duly.

Oops, and roger. > I'm trying to massage your -src package to DTRT. =A0Stay tuned. Thank you very much and sorry for the trouble I'm causing! I'll have another session with the package myself, paying attention to what you've said. Also, I guess it's about time I get in contact with an active a.n developer to get clarification on some suspicions I've had ... but thanks again! --=20 jussi
