Install fails on Stellarmate X

[gordtulloch]

After the pip installs the setup.sh script fails with the error:

Package libindi was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libindi.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libindi' found

###############

ERROR

The setup script exited abnormally, please try to run again...

Issue was resolved by manually installing vi sudo apt install libindi-dev

Also had to set the ports for Apache to 8080 and 4430 but that's because they run NGINX

Interesting. I figured StellarmateX would be based on Ubuntu. Can you tell where the indi packages might be installed?

The setup script tries to detect the version of indilib by using the pkg-config --modversion libindi command, but obviously it is not finding it.

You can find this around line 1851 in the setup script.

# try to detect installed indiversion
#DETECTED_INDIVERSION=$(${INDI_DRIVER_PATH}/indiserver --help 2>&1 | grep -i "INDI Library" | awk "{print \$3}")
DETECTED_INDIVERSION=$(pkg-config --modversion libindi)
echo
echo
echo "Detected INDI version: $DETECTED_INDIVERSION"
sleep 3

You can see a commented out command that I used to use to detect the version. You can try using the old command in the script, or just manually set the version in that variable. It expects something like 2.0.8

Stellarmate is Kubuntu 22,04 currently. Would it be easier just to install libindi-dev when you do the apt package installs? As I said the easy fix was to just install libindi-dev manually and rerun setup.sh

[aaronwmorris]

Yeah, give the manual install a shot. I am not sure what to think about this.
