Ciao,

I had to reinstall my pc and I just finished the installation of Astrometry package but I got error about wcslib:

sauron:Desktop lucianovigano$ solve-field test_05_05_06.jpg

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/wcslib/lib/libwcs.5.16.dylib

Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/solve-field

Reason: image not found

Abort trap: 6

I'm not able to found 5.16 version anywhere (even a package to be compiled), and brew installed the 5.19:

-r--r--r-- 1 lucianovigano admin 1375840 Aug 25 17:37 libwcs-5.19.1.a

-r--r--r-- 1 lucianovigano admin 1236808 Aug 25 17:37 libwcs.5.19.1.dylib

lrwxr-xr-x 1 lucianovigano admin 19 Aug 25 17:37 libwcs.5.dylib -> libwcs.5.19.1.dylib

lrwxr-xr-x 1 lucianovigano admin 15 Aug 25 17:37 libwcs.a -> libwcs-5.19.1.a

lrwxr-xr-x 1 lucianovigano admin 14 Aug 25 17:37 libwcs.dylib -> libwcs.5.dylib

drwxrwxr-x 3 lucianovigano admin 96 Aug 25 17:37 pkgconfig

Any suggestion about to solve the problem?

Cheers,

Luciano

Hi,

How did you install the Astrometry.net code? Compiled from source, or some other way? I don't see how it would know about wcslib-5.16 if you do not have that version on your computer... Are you sure you are running the right version of solve-field?

Does pkg-config work? What do you get for:

pkg-config --cflags wcslib

pkg-config --libs wcslib

pkg-config --modversion wcslib

I would:

1. make sure pkg-config works for wcslib -- if it does not, add the directory containing wcslib.pc to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

2. re-compile the Astrometry.net package --

make clean

make config # <--- make sure wcslib is found in the right place

make

make install

cheers,

Dear Dustin,

the installation was done via brew (according to the guide: http://astrometry.net/doc/build.html#build), and the wcslib were ok:

sauron:~ lucianovigano$ pkg-config --cflags wcslib

-I/usr/local/Cellar/wcslib/5.19.1_1/include/wcslib

sauron:~ lucianovigano$ pkg-config --libs wcslib

-L/usr/local/Cellar/wcslib/5.19.1_1/lib -lwcs -lm

sauron:~ lucianovigano$ pkg-config --modversion wcslib

5.19.1

Now I just download the last version of astrometry (0.75) and compile it and solving seems to output a couple of errors:

sauron:bin lucianovigano$ ./solve-field /Users/lucianovigano/Desktop/test_05_05.jpg --continue

despite the fact that netpbm is installed:

sauron:bin lucianovigano$ pkg-config --modversion Netpbm

10.73.20

but not detected:

# This file is generated by util/Makefile.

# Astrometry.net didn't find netpbm; not setting HAVE_NETPBM.

# See os-features-makefile.log for details.

# To re-run this test, do 'make reconfig; make makefile.os-features' (in the 'util' directory)

# Or to do it yourself, just uncomment this line:

Maybe it will be worth reinstalling OS again ... do you have a setup procedure that should works (I mean list of packages and in which order) ?

cheers,

L.

Hi,

Netpbm has not always used pkg-config, so it is not used by default to configure it -- must be done by hand.

Try:

export NETPBM_INC="$(pkg-config --cflags Netpbm)"

export NETPBM_LIB="$(pkg-config --libs Netpbm)"

make reconfig

make

Hi,

Try setting

export NETPBM_INC=-I/usr/local/Cellar/netpbm/10.73.20/include/netpbm

instead, and then

make reconfig

make

make install

The netpbm library is used to generate plots, so isn't essential for solving.

The "IMG_999.rdls" file contains the list of reference stars in the field

The "IMG_999.corr" file contains "correspondences" (matches) between stars detection in your image ("field") and reference stars ("index").

These are both FITS binary tables that you can list using the "tablist" program.

cheers,
