Summary0002288: Cannot find the data directory when starting up
DescriptionWhen starting Skychart for the first time, the program reports that it cannot find the data directory. See the screenshot.

I confirm that the catalog does exist:
pi@iAstroHub:/usr/share/skychart/cat $ ls
bsc5 gcvs tycho2 wds

Adding --datadir=/usr/share/skychart/cat/ didn't solve the problem.

Thank you.

The problem was solved. I forgot to run
make install_data

Thanks.

Good you find it.
I keep this separate install for the case someone want to package separately the architecture independent files.

To get the equivalent of the my base package you also need to run:
make install_doc : this download the documentation from the wiki.
make install_nonfree : install the quicksat DOS program to compute satellite pass, probably not work on ARM.

To install the equivalent of the additional stars and DSO catalogs:
make install_cat1 : the stars catalogs
make install_cat2 : the DSO catalogs
make install_pict : the object pictures
