  10. I seem to be having some problems with the copy of the SGI Space
  11. Simulator I downloaded last week.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Or
  12. can someone forward this to the author?  Any and all help appreciated.
  13.  
  14. The problem: I see the orbits, the names, and even the Sun, but none of
  15. the planets.  Autopilot zooms me to a spot with the planet name centered, 
  16. but there is no planet displayed.  I seem to be missing a datafile.  
  17. How do I get it?

  19. stdout / stderr output follows:
