Hi Rob,
I hope you are surviving the pandemic.
My dreaded astrometry plate-solving problem has returned—Astrometry crashes
immediately.
FYI I’ve moved and changed email address, please note that I’m now at
stratocas...@icloud.com. I’ve established a new account with kde bug tracking
with that address.
I’ve re-installed everything to no avail.
My setup is the following:
-2014 MacBook Air
-Mohave OS (10.14.6)—had to downgrade because SBIG has problems in Catalina.
-I have Python 3.8.5 installed (using the Python installer, not through kStars)
-kStars v3.4.3
-I followed your last Astrometry install procedure in Terminal from our last
go-round (brew install astronomy-net)
-So after tracking an object in kStars (simulators) I get the following message
despite having already installed home-brew & Python 3 and the above:
"Astrometry.net uses python3 and the astropy package for plate solving
images offline. These were not detected on your system. Please go into the
Align Options and either click the setup button to install them or uncheck the
default button and enter the path to python3 on your system and manually
install astropy.”
-OK. So when I click on the “Setup” button in the Astrometry.net settings in
kStars, I get 3 successive messages:
1. This installer will install the following requirements for
astrometry.net if they are not installed:
Homebrew -an OS X Unix Program Package Manager
Python3 -A Powerful Scripting Language
Astropy -Python Modules for Astronomy
Do you wish to continue?"
2. And after I click on “Yes” I get this second message: "Homebrew
installed
Python3 installed
Astropy will install when you click Ok
(Note: this might take a few minutes, please be patient.)”
3. And after clicking on “OK” I get this: “Astropy Install Failure”
And it will not solve. If I repeat the above exercise, I get the exact same
results.
I’m really sorry to bother you again. Also downloaded and tried ASTAP but that
wouldn’t solve either.
Any advice?
Many thanks,
Stan

Sorry, I should have told you to do that sooner. But I do want to get to the
bottom of this silly strange issue with the code not running on a MacBook Air,
I don't get that. Maybe come compiler flag needs to be set to not use a
certain instruction set or something, but I don't understand it if it works on
your other i5. . .
