trouble dealing in astrometry.net

[Sapna Mishra]

Dear All,

I am using astrometry.net for the first time and I found it very useful for me. However, I want to get for my Linux ubuntu 64-bit system.

I followed all the steps of installation given on http://astrometry.net/doc/build.html#build.

Now I want to convert some x,y coordinate in my file " test.fits" to RA and DEC so when I am running the line:

 wcs-xy2rd -w test.fits -i xy-list -o radec-list

I am getting the error like this:

nwcs.c:1039:anwcs_open_wcslib: Wcslib support was not compiled in

anwcs.c:1061:anwcs_open_wcstools: WCStools support was not compiled in

wcs-xy2rd.c:42:wcs_xy2rd: Failed to read WCS file "test.fits", extension 0

wcs-xy2rd-main.c:167:main: wcs-xy2rd failed

Can anyone tell me how to proceed? It will be very needful for me.

Thanks in advance to all.

Hi,

Try doing:

sudo apt-get install wcslib-dev

and then, in the astrometry.net code directory,

make reconfig
make

It looks like wcslib wasn't installed or found by the astrometry.net makefile.

cheers,

I got error after doing make :

Hi,

Strange...

Could you please try:

make clean
make config      <--- send the output from this, please
make

and if the 'make' fails, please send the gcc command it was running before it failed.

Thanks!

Oh, I'm sorry, I meant

make reconfig

Depending on the Ubuntu release you have, you may even have
astrometry.net available as a package. On Ubuntu Xenial (16.04), it is
version 0.67. To have an update for Ubuntu Trusty (14.04), I just build
a backport package on my personal launchpad repository:

https://launchpad.net/~olebole/+archive/ubuntu/astro-trusty

which has version 0.72. If you need 0.72 for Xenial, please drop me a
note, I can build it as well.

Best regards

Ole
