[LUG] glunarclock

 

Whilst browsing through the synaptic package manager,
I came across a tool called glunarclock, which is

"GNOME Lunar Clock displays the current phase of the Moon
as an applet for the gnome panel.
It also provides various astronomical data such as clock functions,
rise and set times and current coordinates for the moon."

For various reasons I won't go into, I would find such a
tool immensely useful.  So I used Synaptic to install it.
However, I can't get it to run.  Can't find it in the panel
like it says, and can't get it to run from command line...

The readme says

'If you're compiling and installing from a tarball and can't launch the
applet from the panel after installation, check the location of the
files glunarclock-applet-2, glunarclock.schemas and
GNOME_GLunarclockApplet_Factory.server as compared to other similar
files on your system and then try using the --prefix and --sysconfdir
options as described in the 'INSTALL' file. For example, you might
want to configure like this:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var 
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/gnome-panel

Installing to the default of /usr/local usually makes it so that GNOME
can't properly load the glunarclock applet.'

However, I can't find an INSTALL file, and I don't really understand
what its talking about.

I'm probably missing something completely obvious.  Anyone have
any ideas?

Anton
