Subject: How to use code from solar.el

Hi there,
solar.el is an emacs lisp library that comes with emacs. It (defun)s the
function solar-sunrise-sunset that calculates sunrise, sunset and daylight.
I was wanting to have this information available in the mode-line and added
to my init.el file this piece of emacs lisp:
(require 'solar)
(defun mp:sunrise-sunset-for-modeline ()
(let ((calendar-time-display-form '(24-hours ":" minutes))
(l (solar-sunrise-sunset (calendar-current-date))))
(format "[↑%s, ↓%s]"
(apply 'solar-time-string (car l))
(apply 'solar-time-string (cadr l)))))
When i was testing the code it was working find. However when I invoke
emacs i get during loading of init.el this error message:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument arrayp nil)
solar-exact-local-noon((11 25 2016))
solar-sunrise-sunset((11 25 2016))
(let ((calendar-time-display-form (quote (24-hours ":" minutes))) (l
(solar-sunrise-sunset (calendar-current-date)))) (format "[↑%s, ↓%s]"
(apply (quote solar-time-string) (car l)) (apply (quote solar-time-string)
(car (cdr l)))))
mp:sunrise-sunset-for-modeline()
eval((mp:sunrise-sunset-for-modeline) nil)
elisp--eval-last-sexp(nil)
eval-last-sexp(nil)
funcall-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil)
call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)
command-execute(eval-last-sexp)
Why is the function not executing? If I invoke calendar before
mp:sunrise-sunset-for-modeline then it works without error. Is it possible
that i have to require some more dependencies? The debugger error message
does not seem to indicate this, but it seems likely to me.
Matthias
