My PoleMaster is recognized now, but my ZWO cameras are not and Indi crashes.

Here the logs:

Make sure libasi is installed?

sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall libasi

Same here and reinstall of libasi doesn't fix it..

It appears the link should point towards .1108 instead of .0715.

I corrected the link and indiserver started OK.

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
sudo rm libASICamera2.so.1 (in case such file exists)
sudo ln -s libASICamera2.so.1.14.1108 libASICamera2.so.1

should do the trick.

Thanks, Alfred!

That did the trick, indeed! All systems functioning normally again, it seems.

Only change for RPi4 users is that the directory is aarch64-linux-gnu and not x86_64-linux-gnu.

So RPi4 users (using Ubuntu MATE) need to change the first line of your terminal commands to

cd /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu

The rest is the same.

Yes, sorry, I had missed a change when I recently updated the ASI camera SDK version, should now be fixed in next nightly.

I had the same problem after today's update (haven't updated in a few days).
sudo ln -s libASICamera2.so.1.14.1108 libASICamera2.so.1
fixed it

also, originally, there was no libASICamera2.so.1 but libASICamera2.so (broke link)
and the directory was: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
(SM 1.4.3 Mate on RPI4)

Thanks much for an easy solution!

Hi
I built from source but still have the old 0715 sdk. What must I do to get the new 1108?
TIA

I also recompiled from source yesterday, and I am also having the old SDK. Doesn't affect my ASI cameras, though, but I am now back at where the PoleMaster is not being recognized as the QHY driver seems to depend on the updated SDK..

It looks like the SDK was only fixed in the nightly build, not on github. I am not sure we can do anything until the git is updated.

No, nightly builds are always built from git head so git is always more up to date by definition. ASI SDK recides in libasi directory in git and has to be installed first before indi-asi to use the current one. Git version itself has worked fine the whole time, it was just one packaging file I forgot to modify which caused wrong link in .deb files.

Hi. Could you give us a build method for installing the SDK please?
Building indi-core and indi-asi as described here doesn't work.
TIA.
