GNOME Lunar Clock Applet (C) 2000-2005 josh buhl
Displays the current phase of the Moon as an applet for the gnome panel.
In order to obtain correct data it is important that you set the latitude and longitude correctly for your location in the properties dialog and that the system clock is accurate. Consider using an ntp client to set the system time if you have internet access. See http://www.ntp.org for details about ntp.
In the properties dialog you can choose between a real and a cartoon image of the moon. Be sure to set the correct value for the number of frames when you select a new image file. Currently, the cartoon image file has 12 frames and the real image file has 56.
If you're compiling and installing from a tarball and can't launch the applet from the panel after installation, check the location of the files glunarclock-applet-2, glunarclock.schemas and GNOME_GLunarclockApplet_Factory.server as compared to other similar files on your system and then try using the --prefix and --sysconfdir options as described in the 'INSTALL' file. For example, you might want to configure like this:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=/usr/lib/gnome-panel
Installing to the default of /usr/local usually makes it so that GNOME can't properly load the glunarclock applet.
