 Hi all

  I only have a Mac computer and would like to use find_orb but when I try to compile the C source code I get an error.  I get the same error on Linux and various different versions of Mac OSX.  Hope someone can help. The error message I get is below.

On Mac OSX Mavericks (also tried it on the older Snow Leopard and newer El Capitan) make -f linmake gets these types of errors:

mt64.cpp:106:19: warning: 'long long' is a C++11 extension [-Wc++11-long-long]

       mt[i] =  (UINT64_C( 6364136223846793005) * (mt[i-1] ^ (mt[i-1] >> 62)) + i);

                 ^

/usr/include/stdint.h:201:23: note: expanded from macro 'UINT64_C'

#define UINT64_C(v)  (v ## ULL)

                     ^

<scratch space>:5:1: note: expanded from here

6364136223846793005ULL

^

but creates find_orb with these libraries:

find_orb:

       /opt/local/lib/libncurses.5.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.0.0)

       /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1)

However, it bombs on execution:

% ./find_orb astrometry.txt

Assertion failed: (edata), function get_environment_ptr, file mpc_obs.cpp, line 3868.

Abort

Thanks
