Hello, I am copying this from the
github issue
opened up with the same subject. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I tried the walkthrough on
pip website
since it is the recommended method for Ubuntu users.
This includes installing all prerequisites calling: `sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev libindi-dev swig`
Then I get a _successful_ install of <strong>pyindi-client-0.2.6</strong> using _pip3_ calling: <code>sudo -H pip3 install pyindi-client</code>
But as soon as I try to import <strong>PyIndi</strong> the python instance crashes with the message: segmentation fault (core dumped)
I tried reinstalling the dependencies, but no luck.
Also, I checked the package calling: `pip3 check pyindi-client` and I got the response _No broken requirements found_
Then, after reading the stackoverflow question: [python tracing a segmentation fault](stackoverflow.com/a/2664232/6474744) I tried to get to the root of the problem using **gdb** by calling:
<code>
$ mkdir db-pyindi
$ cd db-pyindi
$ echo "import PyIndi" > import-pyindi.py
$ gdb python3

After hours of search, this was as far as I could go right now. Any help would be appreciated.
