           Summary: astro/xephem dumps core, failing to find
                    classicfigs.csf and reports failure to find logo.gif

I installed xephem (version 3.7.6) from ports today and tried to run it.

Upon start-up, it reports:

/usr/ports/astro/xephem/work/stage/usr/local/lib/X11/xephem/auxil/logo.gif: No
such file or directory
/usr/ports/astro/xephem/work/stage/usr/local/lib/X11/xephem/auxil/logo.gif: No
such file or directory


Upon choosing "View->Sky View" (the main use I have for xephem), I get:

can not find classicfigs.csf
Abort trap: 6 (core dumped)

The files /usr/local/lib/X11/xephem/auxil/logo.gif and
/usr/local/lib/X11/xephem/auxil/classicfigs.csf are both installed by the port,
so clearly it's simply looking in the stage directory instead of where it
should.

Both errors go away if I re-build xephem but neither install nor clean the
port:

cd /usr/ports/astro/xephem
make

(in another window, start xephem from the previously installed version)

So indeed, the presence of the stage directory in the port's working directory
lets it find all the files it is looking for.  

To reproduce:

cd /usr/ports/astro/xephem
make install clean

start xephem
Choose "View->Sky View"

If "clean" is done, it'll crash, if clean is not done it'll run fine.
