Compiling problem under Debian or Lubuntu. #51

Open han-k59 opened 1 year ago

han-k59 commented 1 year ago

The compiling doesn't work under Debian Lubuntu. See attached. Maybe you could update the compile instruction to fix this. See attached.

compiling sextractor.txt

Note: Probably an very old story but the the name and extension ".sex" is horribly chosen. The executable is distributed with Debian but is called: source-extractor

Hi @han-k59 the reason is, your system is missing the fftw3-dev package. Here is the complete list of packages needed for compiling SExtractor on Ubuntu: autoconf libtool make libatlas-base-dev fftw3-dev libcfitsio-dev.
