You might try running it again, and lower the number of concurrent jobsto
 or 

Jerry..

Thanks.  May delete the directory ands try over with the downloaded version like Richard..  What does the JOBS reduction do (other than lower the number I mean). I have nothing else running that I'm aware of at the time.  Is this a "memory" constraint type issue, etc..

Thanks!!!

Jay S.

If you have a 4 G RPi then I've seen memory issues with too many compile jobs at once. I haven't seen it with a 8 G machine (yet)

Jerry...

Thanks..  I have 8GB machines, but doing this on the 4GB I have (the "play" Raspberry Pi).  Will give it another go!

Jay S.

Nou..

I am getting the following error (which is also being reported in a new thread about StellarSolver).  I have also seen other errors trying to finish the compile at different locations.

If I do another GIT will I pick up any fixes?

Thank you
Jay S.

You can peak at line 81 on the master distribution and it hasn't changed then there is nothing new to pull
Peak at line 81 using:
invent.kde.org/education/kstars/-/blob/m...iary/solverutils.cpp

this is based on the assumption that the proposed fix just removed that line.

Just out of sheer interest, I've just used Nou's script on a 32 bit Bullseye install on RPI 4, 4Gb and it's ran through perfectly. I've quickly tried out the basics with a mount and a ZWO ASI 385 between the clouds and it all behaves as it should, with no crashes and it appears to quite a bit faster than my current Ubuntu Mate 20.04 32 bit setup. I'll wait for some clear weather and try it again with my full imaging setup.
In the meantime I've a spare SD card and I'll run off a second install with the 64 bit Bullseye and see if I can recreate the success I've had so far.

Thanks to all involved for the useful information in this topic it's helped enormously in getting this working.

Alan,

See the other thread I referenced..  There is a problem with that one section of the compile now (recent issue I believe)..  I have it installed now, but needed to comment out that one line in the compile scripting..

Jay S.

Jay are you running my build-soft-latest or stable? From that error message it seems like you run latest which can break from time to time.

As Jerry pointed out compiling on 4GB Pi with 64bit system need to lower number of jobs. So edit scripts and change line ""JOBS=2". 8GB Pi should be fine.

Richard: did you right clicked on script name and selected save target as? Because you obviously saved HTML webpage that show script and not script itself. But it seems like you figured it out in the end.

Nou,

I tried both, as well as running on an 8GB RPI4..  Also running the GIT and downloaded (based on RIchard's experience)..  Running STABLE gave a similar compile error, but for a different line as I recall.  I can delete and retry, but I think the STABLE will fail as well if it's calling for the same location in the line I commented out (81)...

Did you happen to look over this newer thread?    kstars build issue with updated stellarsolver

Which and where in the scripts is the JOBS operand if you can.. There are a lot of scripts!! 

Jay S.

Jay,

You need to amend line 13 to say JOBS=2 in the "build-soft-stable.sh" in the "/home/pi/astro-soft-build" folder or line 9 in "build-soft-latest.sh" in the same folder

Regards

Alan

All,

Up and running and PHD2 installed on top!  Now, hope it just stays stable for a bit!!!  .  Anyone know if there's a build that includes Pegasus Astro Power Box (or is it included??). Thank you everyone!!!
