I can't get PREDICT to run on my linux systems for some reason and would like to access a online PREDICT server for my PREDICT-GSAT program until I can fiqure out why PREDICT won't run on any of my systems.
FYI, I have PREDICT loaded but it keeps going to the edit location screen each time I start. I enter my information each time and it shuts down each time.

I had that; I went to gpredict instead, because I wanted a GUI in any case. Of course that has its own oddities (if you edit the TLE files, make sure you don't leave a blank line at the end - the parser is rubbish) but it's worked well for me.

Hi James,
Wow, never seen this. Sounds like you have a files permissions issue somewhere. What version, and how was it compiled? Where do you run it from?
I'm running a modified version of Predict 2.2.1 on my system (but it's behind a firewall, so you won't be able to connect to it). I cd to the directory where the program is (where it was compiled), and run it from there. The TLE and QTH files are in ~/.predict, which, of course, I have r/w access to (mode 755). The files themselves are 644. If I recall, everything was done from my own account, not root.

Oh, one other idea... if you're using -s in the run string, you need to add Predict's network port in the /etc/services file:
predict 1210/udp # Predict 2/3/2007 GDD

Hi John,
Not sure what you mean by "needs the predict name", but that line is straight from my /etc/services file. There are also two other lines for port 1210 for "eoss", one for tcp, and the other udp, on my system, (which is OpenSuSE 10.3).

He means you need to add a 'clone' of that service with a name of 'predict'. 73, Jim KQ6EA
