Troubleshooting
PrestoPlot on Linux 64bit
If PrestoPlot fails to start on a Linux 64-bit machine, check for an error message in the Broker log tab. PrestoPlot is a 32-bit binary so it might return the following message :
PrestoPlot : Apps/PrestoPlot/bin/prestoplot.lnx: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
- Install the libX11 library with its dependencies (libXau, libxcb) in a 32-bit version. On yum-based systems, type:
sudo yum install libX11.i686
Celestia dependencies on Linux
If Celestia fails to start, have a look in the Broker log:
- The libpng 1.2 library might be missing
- Install the libpng12 library. On yum-based systems, type:
sudo yum install libpng12
- The libjpeg 62 library might be missing
- Install the libjpeg62 library. On yum-based systems, type:
sudo yum install libjpeg62
