Hello all and happy new year !

I have tried to install Indi/Ekos/KStars on KUbuntu 15.10 in a Panasonic Toughbook CF-W7 laptop.
I have used the recommended method in the Indi website : indi-full + kstars-bleeding. All works fine BUT Ekos doesn't appear in KStars !
So, I thought that have made a mistake. I have uninstalled indi-full and kstars-bleeding packages and tried to compile all softwares by myself using the howto in the forum (Indi server and indi 3rd party drivers, Astrometry.net and finally KStars). Ekos is still missing in my KStars. I don't have Ekos nor Indi in the Configuration menu.
What is wrong ?
Indiserver seems to work (the process is running and listens to the port 7624). Astrometry.net is installed, according to their installation guide. But, during the KStars compilation, the installation procedure shows that it doesn't find Indi and Astrometry.net. This is really strange.

I have planned to use KStars to remotely manage my telescope equipped with a BeagleBone Black card where Indiserver will be embedded.
I'm very interested to use Indi and KStars for remote spectroscopy purposes. My goal is to use Indi capabilities via a web interface. And I'm very interested to participate to the Indi/Ekos adventure. I'm working as webmaster in the most important astronomy store in France. I can try many kind of astronomy equipment we have in the store. This is really cool )

Thank you for your help
Vincent
