Yes, mine too.
So I would suspect the locale LC-NUMERIC=en_US is not working on his device.
Did you purge some locales? If so purging en_US (and your country) locale is always a bad idea.
If not try to edit the file /usr/share/orrery/orbitalElements/mercuryElements and exchange the dots with comma (backup!).

Looks like the suspicion is correct 
.The error message now is:
Wrong number (1) of numbers found on line 1 of /usr/share/orrery//orbitalElements/venusElements
I did not purge anything that I know of. Perhaps the locale setting was changed to Dutch when the device shut down and rebooted due to empty battery ( I usually set it to English, In Dutch locale the , is used instead of . for decimal separation and the locale is set to Dutch now). It has been a long time since it was reflashed.

It's been a LONG time since I pushed out a new version of orrery. I started doing a Solar Eclipse page, and I just never brought it to conclusion. Doing a nice job on Solar Eclipses will be hard.
I'm very pleased that there are still people using my little app!

Of course we are using it still.
My kids love it.
And I am still impressed and learning.
Thanks for that nice piece of SW!

And it should work the way you worked around it.
Weasel's version seemed to work also, as he posted. So what did Weasel do to let orrery not recognize the numeric locale?

Ah, I like this app, handy to see sunrise and sunset times, when seasons start etc.etc. .
I thought maybe something got corrupted on a reboot or shutdown or something since it was working before but I got it running again by setting the device locale to English_US :-) (and changing back the , to . again in the mercuryElements file)

Yes, 5 years later ... I'm using orrery, and it correctly predicted the lunar eclipse tonight.
Did the code for solar eclipse get finished? I can imagine that for many, fremantle/n900 is obsolete. I don't know about you @Ken-Young. If you still have the code for that laying around somewhere, please post it somewhere, even if it's considered 'dirty' yet.

On github the changelog is missing and the NEWS file reporting version 3.2.3. Where as the version from repository is 3.8.0 but has the same news file.
On the wiki it says:
The source code is hosted on this github repository. The version there may not have gone through the Maemo Community QA testing. The most recent version which has been vetted by the community is available in the Maemo Extras catalog.source code is hosted on this github repository.

However the files are from 28.10.2012 as well the latest commit. So I guess they are the same but I didn't checked.
Source from the repository:
orrery_3.8.0.orig.tar.gz
orrery_3.8.0-1.debian.tar.gz
So maybe Ken has something newer locally.

I haven't fired up the development environment in *years*.
So maybe Ken has something newer locally.
If I see any good comets coming up, I'll at least make an orrery-compatible ephemeris file.
