Also, if you can't/don't want to change the file /etc/services, you can invoke predict as
predict -s -n 1210
note that you can change the 1210 (port number) to whatever you like most, and that you can have multiple predict servers running on the same machine listening on different ports. So maybe you can have the amateur sats on one server, weather sats on another server, etc.

under debian predict runs setup like it should then terminates never getting to the multi satelite screen. on running it again it starts over in setting up the qth, even though ~/.predict/predict.qth is present.
just fixed the problem:
the following 3 files seem to need to be present for predict to run:
~/.predict/predict.qth ~/.predict/predict.db _/.predict/predict.tle
to run as a server /etc/ services must have port 1210/udp assigned to predict.
my osx install also now runs the predict server. osx assigns aborher service to port 1210 by default.
noww both work.

predict -s (pedict invoked as a server) immediately crashes (terminates) after startup. anyone have an idea why it would do this? (works fine
when
not invoked as a server)
