Hi Gary
Stellarium 0.10.2 had a few little bugs that were sorted out very quickly. Mainly to do with video drivers. What Linux platform do you use. I have Ubunu 9.10 but I can't compile the latest version due to the change to Qt 4.6.0.
There are some precompiled linux packages available for stellarium 0.10.2 However your best shot is to to download build 5545. the last one that can be compiled with Qt 4.5.0 which is the Qt version that will download with the rest of the dependancies. This should run well on Linux if you have OpenGl drivers for your video.
If you get the Windows version of 0.10.2 you can up date it with a patch downloadable from
www.iceinspace.com.au/uploads/4747.zip.
If you run Windows I can give you pre-compiled versions that should work on most platforms although the latest build (today is very buggy due to the change to Qt 4.6.0) the last reasonably stable version was build 5078 but build 5545 isn't too bad.
