Thanks! The link given turns out to have been the best solution. After the issues noted below were overcome I now have a much better copy of Kstars in addition to INDI.

Thanks. Again useful info when I do another build.

Thanks! This is one of the things in the script I didn't understand (I've never tried building anything from source). As it turns out, increasing the swap file size got me past the problem command and my abbreviated script worked as it should and I now have a working copy of the current Kstars. So far I'm impressed - I had tried a version that was in the repository and the current version is much improved. Hopefully I will have a chance to try hooking some of my equipment to it later today.

OK - answered my own questions. Looking at the script I realized it wanted a lot more memory than I have so I boosted my swap file to be 3GB. Not sure I understand everything the script is doing, but I took a crack at eliminating commands that have already been executed and things appear to be running smoothly (if a little slowly) again. Looks like I could have just scraped by with 4GB total memory.

Trying to do the build. Everything looked fine until it got to "Scanning Dependencies of Target KstarsLib". It got 32% of the way through, then froze at Building CXX object kstars/CMakefiles/KstarsLib.dir/indi/clientmanager.cpp.o. Can't even move the cursor - it looks like it is trying to execute cursor movement generated a half hour ago. Getting ready to just pull the plug. I have only 2 Gb of real memory and 1Gb swap and think I still have 16 GB storage space. Any idea what may be wrong? Do I need to add more swap space? (Can't even execute a free -h)

i AM ALSO GETTING THIS MESSAGE. I have Kstars ver 3.4.3 - the most current in the raspian bullseye (64 bit) repository. There does not appear to be any data for either asteroids or comets. I can do search on Ceres for instance and nothing comes up - even if I go to the internet option. Has there been an update on this? From the link above it sounds like there was a change in data formatting.

I just realized that by following the instructions exactly, I was trying to load the version for buster, which is 32 bit. e.g. sudo su -c "echo 'deb www.astroberry.io/repo/ buster main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/astroberry.list". My OS is 64 bit (bullseye). So it appears I just substitute bullseye for buster and that at least solves this problem. On to the next.... How do I mark this as solved?

Interesting. I looked at the script and it is a lot more complex than I would have thought necessary. I will have to take a closer look - I have only a vague idea of what the commands in the script are doing - and I don't want to break my current configuration.

I have a fresh install of Raspian bullseye on a RPi4. I cut and pasted the commands to install the raspberry pi version of INDI and get a whole slew of unmet dependencies. A partial list is below. Any idea what's wrong?
