libswe-dev for Debian --------------------- On Debian systems, the ephemeris files and other static data files are located at '/usr/share/libswe/ephe/'. Install them with the following packages: - swe-basic-data: contemporary epoch (1800-2399 CE), about 15M. - swe-standard-data: from 5401 BCE to 5399 CE, about 50M (including basic set). - swe-extra-data: from 13000 BCE to 16800 CE, about 115M (including basic and standard sets). - swe-data: meta-package including everything above. By default, the library should search for data files in these directories (modified SE_EPHE_PATH in swephexp.h): - /usr/share/libswe/ephe/ - /usr/local/share/libswe/ephe/ Which leaves users enough options to install their own files. Optionally, you can set the environment variable 'SE_EPHE_PATH' to override your application's default ephemeris path. See documentation provided by the package 'libswe-doc'.
