There is indication on the main download page: https://www.ap-i.net/skychart/en/download
and the Sourceforge page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/skychart/files/1-software/version_4.2.1/

"On Linux you must also install the package libpasastro available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/libpasastro/ "

libpasastro has been installed, see https://www.ap-i.net/mantis/view_all_bug_page.php

This error has also been reported in the past on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skychart/

Sorry, I not make the relation.

Skychart try to load the file libpasplan404.so.1 using the system standard library path.

Where do you install this file?
Is the path listed in /etc/ld.so.conf or a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ ?
Do you run sudo ldconfig after installing the file ?

So the file libpasplan404.so.1 is only in this location: /home/pi/libpasastro/plan404/libpasplan404.so.1.1
It is impossible for skychart to guess it is here.

You have two solution, install in /usr/lib or add /home/pi/libpasastro/plan404/ to ldconfig.
Installing is the preferred way, otherwise you will get the same problem with the next library libpasgetdss.so
do:
- cd /home/pi/libpasastro/plan404
- sudo make install PREFIX=/usr
- sudo ldconfig

Good advice, works like a charm, just cd /home/pi/libpasastro/ is required and Cartes du Ciel starts up but then a half light blue screen is see as attached. Any advice?

The main problem is it cannot draw the main star catalog.

Can you run with the --verbose option: ./skychart --verbose
and report the console log.

The problem is it really take more than 10 seconds to search the star catalog:
2020-01-25T10:18:23.018 SkyChart Chart_1: draw stars
2020-01-25T10:18:33.083 SkyChart Chart_1: draw double stars

In this case I have a safety check to abort the catalog after 10 seconds. Normally you can get this condition only with big catalog like GAIA or USNO-B when you use them on large FOV, thus the text of the message show at the end.

I never see this message with the base star catalog except sometime with the RPi-1.
With my RPi-2 this step take about 2 seconds just after the program is started and about 0.5 seconds afterward when the data are in memory cache. But you get this error repeatedly because when it is aborted the cache is not filled.

This let me think of very poor performance with the SD card.
Are you sure of the quality of the card? Is it at minimum of class 10? or better a A1 card for the Pi-4.

Sandisk microSDXC UHS-I A1 128GB Class10

in a 4GB Pi-4. I thought to use the aarch64 Manjaro because it is true 64-bit unlike Raspian and faster.

Any ideas how to track down the problem? Are you able to reproduce the problem for https://manjaro.org/download/#raspberry-pi-4-xfce ?

It is difficult for me to test the aarch64 version because I not have a Pi-4, only a Pi-2.
For the compilation I use a KVM virtual machine with processor emulation, but running skychart from there is very difficult.

You have a good SD card that must not be the problem.
The next point to check is if there is some specific problem with the star drawing function.
After the program is started and it show the wrong display, can you open the menu Setup / Display, set both Deep sky and Star display to "Line mode".
At the bottom of this screen uncheck "Anti alias drawing".
Click OK to apply.

Hi,

I find a way to debug the program from the virtual machine using a remote Xserver because it is impossible to run a Xserver with the processor emulation. This is very slow but I can make some test.

The issue is really with the star drawing. It look like a bug with the single precision floating point number with this processor. I try to find a workaround, probably by using double precision instead. When it work I make a test version for you.

I confirm, I found the same. I look forward to the test version. Thanks!

Finally the problem was a bug with the compiler optimization with this processor.
So I revert all the other change and just change the makefile:

You can get a test version here :

Good job: all modes work fine, much faster responsive and no blanking when zooming out. If all software developers fixed the problems that fast and effective, the world would be a better place. Thanks again!
