Thanks for your solution!
For whatever reason, despite having set my system to "LANG=en_US.UTF-8", LC_NUMERIC was still set to the local variant which also uses "," as decimal separator.
I got the ccd_simulator running by removing that LC_NUMERIC and setting LC_ALL=C…

CS,

This post describe how to replace the "," by the "." for the entire system : forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=81122

It works for me.

The GSC catalog is now available for 14.04 and later:

The Original file can be dowloaded and built from source.

Hi Jasem,

Seems everything is ok with this package. No more trouble with point or coma with the GSC catalog use.
I think we can close this topic.

I can't follow that link to build it on my raspberry pi 2

As none of the mentioned links work anymore here is the source link for the Guide Star Catalog:
gsss.stsci.edu/Catalogs/GSC/GSC1/GSC1.htm

I dont get It, how do I install gsc on non ubuntu system (gentoo)? Jasem can you please provide a link for the package again, that I can do cmake with it?

Found it: launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+archive/ubuntu/...ubuntu16.04.1.tar.xz

Hi!
I am totally new to linux and installed the diestro-astro on an old notebook to controll my astrosetup with it. Cam and EQ6 are working allready, but i wanted to get a feel for the kstars program so i tried to use all simulated hardware. This works until i get the error "got no stars is gsc installed" andsoon.. So i found the gsc catalog but i have absolutely no idea which file(s) i have to download, and how to install them. And after hours of unsuccesful searching i am trying to get the info here...
In the screenshot is what i found. if anyone could tell me which one of these fiels i have to download
and how to proceed i would be very happy.
Cheers
TCM

Thanks. So there is nothing to download?

Nope that should install everything you need.
