Hi,
I am the developer of glnemo2. Thanks for putting glnemo2 on your website.

To tell you that I have already many linux glnemo2 binaries available for download . PLease visit :
http://projets.lam.fr/projects/glnemo2/wiki#Download

The Ubuntu14.04 DEB package should work on 15.10

but don’t forget to run :
apt-get -f install
to resolve missing dependencies

Enjoy,

JC

Thank you for the answer, Lambert. The thing is, I found the DEB doesn’t seem to work in 15.10, after running exactly the same commands (dpkg -i and apt-get -f install, in hope to automatically fetch the missing dependencies). The error is related to libccfits0v5, which I manually installed, but still no go. However, compiling works with libccfits-dev, and I didn’t investigate any further on why the DEB failed to install.

JC Lambert says:

Ok I see,
I will provide a DEB package for 15.10 ASAP.

Thanks

JC Lambert says:

Hi,
I have just added a deb package for ubuntu 15.04. I think it should work on 15.10

Craciun Dan says:

Thank you for the package. I’ll try installing when I get around 15.10 again and will add the DEB installation method to the article.

JC Lambert says:

Hey, good evening,

I have just added a package for ubuntu 15.10, bc the one for 15.04 does not install. To get it, please follow the link:
