Rob,
I've just tried to use the latest AstroPI3 Raspbian Buster script on a Raspberry Pi 4 and it all runs through fine, but there are no third party cameras showing in the drop down menu for either the main ccd or guide ccd in the Ekos Profile Editor, also the cameras are also missing from PHD2 drop down menus. I have an older version of the script and it is working fine.
The generic & simulator cameras are present & are able to be selected, the driver files for the third party cameras appear in the folder /home/pi/AstroRoot/indi-3rdparty .
The focusers, mounts & filter wheels are all present in their respective drop down menus, I've tried a few times with different SD cards SanDisk Extreme 32 GB and using both Etcher and Win32 Disk Imager, same result every time.

So if you do these two commands in the terminal on the machine that is giving you trouble:

ls /usr/bin/indi*
ls /usr/share/indi

Do you see the drivers and the xml files? Are they all there?

Thanks,

Rob

Replied by Avocette on topic AstroPi3 Scripts revised

Hi Rob, I thought I'd make up a fresh SD Card installation and so this wet evening I've also run the new version of the your script under Raspbian. I also have found that the cameras available in the drop down list when setting up your equipment profile are very restricted in number with the ones I am interested in (Canon DSLR and ZWO) missing. Also under the Aux drop down list, GPSD is no longer present although GPSUSB and GPS Simulator remain. I guess this is due to the build of KStars which was cloned tonight?

did you try those two commands that I mentioned. I would like to know if the drivers are all installed and all the xml files.

I am assuming the 3rd party build went ok including both libraries and drivers ? were there any failures along the way?

Rob,
Many Thanks for the reply I've just tried ls /usr/bin/indi* all the drivers for the Mounts, Focusers, Filter Wheels and auxiliaries show up there, but there are no Camera drivers visible.

ls /usr/share/indi there is only following xml files showing, drivers.xml indi_tcfs_sk.xml

Rob,
The build seemed to go OK it didn't hang or crash in any way it appeared to run just like the previous successful setups I've done from the earlier versions of the script, I have also tried running the script on the light version of Raspbian Buster with the same result.

I have also re run on a Pi 4 one of the previous scripts from a backup I have and it has installed fine, all the cameras are fully installed

That sounds like either it didn't install the 3rd Party drivers, or they installed someplace different.

Can you try
ls /usr/local/bin/indi*
ls /usr/local/share/indi

Or better yet, instead of looking for them, look at the contents of the file

/home/pi/AstroRoot/indi-build/3rdparty-Drivers/install_manifest.txt

See if they installed, and if so, where?

Or alternately, try these commands:

cd ~/AstroRoot/indi-build/3rdparty-Drivers
sudo make install

And see if they install or if there is an issue.

Rob,
I've tried that for you here is the result

pi@raspberrypi:~/AstroRoot/indi-build/3rdparty-Drivers $ sudo make install
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

And if you do
ls ~/AstroRoot/indi-build/3rdparty-Drivers

Is that directory empty?

Rob,
I've just looked in the indi-build / 3rdparty-drivers and there's no manifest.txt screen dump attached
