indi_atik_ccd: error while loading shared lib

OK, in order to clean-up my main observatory PC I decided to wipe everything and start with a fresh Kubuntu 16.04 install.
Have not field tested yet but hopefully in the next couple of days.

I'm getting an error when starting both the indi_atik_ccd and indi_atik_wheel drivers.
indi_atik_ccd: error while loading shared libraries: libcfitsio.so.3:

Its a standard PC running x86_64. I saw somewhere else people running ARM had this problem and solved by sym-linking the cfitsio2 to cfitsio3.
However... I want to do as little 'messing' with this PC as possible, All sorts of wierd stuff was happening before and I did a lot of 'messing'

Anyone have any idea of the most straightforward way to fix this?
Thanks,
Derek

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcfitsio.so.2.3.37 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcfitsio.so.3

If you don't want to symlink just install the libcfitsio3 package from trusty, that's what I have done and it works fine.

packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/libcfitsio3/download

sudo dpkg -i libcfitsio3_3.340-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb

I tried to find a most recent file but thats the only I found available from ubuntu. At least for now.

max / nmac,

Thanks for the help.

I wonder if the atik-driver developers could remove this dependency from the build somehow..... :-)

Derek, this is not package dependency, it was already removed. It is really wrong library name on some recent systems. Somebody decided, that the best name for cfitsio3 is cfitsio2 :) If I'll change it, it will stop working on remaining systems. It seems, that the only way how to distribute software for linux is to avoid dynamic linking at all. Peter
