-----------------
libswe source has been patched for use with debian and rpm based
distros. The Default value of SE_EPHE_PATH has been changed
from ".:/users/ephe2/:/users/ephe/" to
".:/usr/share/libswe/ephe2/:/usr/share/libswe/ephe/"
The root directory /users does not exist on most packaged Linux
distros. This will put the Swiss Ephemeris's data in directories
that can be installed by packages.
swe-basic-data is the data needed for all use of the Swiss Ephemeris.
other packages will provide the other optional data. The Swiss
Ephemeris can be used without any installed data at all, if the user
supplies data in his own private directory.
The Swiss Ephemeris was not created in the UNIX/Gnu Linux world and
hence does not have an UNIX/Gnu Linux style manpage. The manpages
merely refer to documentation available elsewhere. It is however
well documented in the following files in the package libswe-dev:
/usr/share/doc/libswe-dev/swephprg.pdf
/usr/share/doc/libswe-dev/swisseph.pdf
/usr/share/doc/libswe-dev/swephprg.html
/usr/share/doc/libswe-dev/swisseph.html
This documentation can also be found on line on astrodienst's web pages.
Astrodienst has asked me to remove the public interface to pcalc, i.e.
swepcalc.h.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/swisseph/message/3129
This will make this version of astrodienst upwards compatible
with the next release from astrodienst which will not included it.
I believe no freesoftware actualy uses this code.
Remove #include "swepcalc.h" from your code if you have it.
This version of the library will not work if you do this include.
You will have to remove it anyway when v 78 comes out because astrodienst is
making it go away.
The current source version is 1.77.00.0001
