I complied it on Ubuntu 9.10 with Qt-Version 4.5.2. The stellarium.org web site
mentions 0.10.2 is based on QT 4.5.

The nature of the run-time error is that files like data/countryCodes.dat aren't
installed where the executable seems to expect them. Specifically it is looking
for them in /usr/local/share/stellarium but never installed them there during the
'make install'. A quick workaround is to symbolically link /usr/local/share/stellarium
to the source directory, in which case, stellarium runs.

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.
OK! Thanks! Will have a look at the Linux executable that is running first.

Best Regards

Gary
