Kstars compile error

[rockdude14]

I'm working on getting kstars compiled on a rpi4 and am almost there.  I'm not great with linux so hopefully this is something easy.

Here's the end of the compiling where it errors out and I'm not having much luck googling.

Silly question, but why not install the ready compiled \ ready to go executables ??

They are not available for the RPi unless you are running Astroberry.

I run Ubuntu Mate, which just updated itself to 21.04, & all is running fine on a Pi4 ....  I used this as the source https://www.indilib.org/get-indi/download-ubuntu.html

I agree with @Dr_Ju_ju, installing on Ubuntu/Armbian, should be as easy as adding the repository and installing with aptitude.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa
sudo apt update

sudo apt install indi-full kstars-bleeding gsc

Addendum:

I'm posting this from my RockPro64, which I connect to via RDP.

I just updated indi and kstars by just using the last two commands in the above list. The sbc now runs Kstars 3.5.3. I have my gear in summer storage, so can't test it with hardware, but the Ekos simulators work just fine.

Make sure you've got the correct dependencies installed or up to date and in the correct places; it's looking for something that isn't there.
