Stellarium does not start

I got this error when I try to start Stellarium:

stellarium: symbol lookup error: stellarium: undefined symbol: _ZNK4INDI13PropertyBasicI8_INumberEixEl

Few days ago it was working.
What to do?

Well, stellarium has been built against indi 2.1.2.1 and the current version is 2.1.3. It may explain this problem.

Rebuild of the stellarium probably fixes it, but this package has no maintainer :frowning:

Then what did gone wrong? I was just updating system and did not see any issues?

I do not have indi package at all. Stellarium was working fine.

Reinstalling Stellarium did not help. The same problem.

My temporary solution - I downloaded appImage and use it. But it’s temporary for me.

Did you check what @arvidjaar wrote above?

Yes, I did read his answer.
I have the same version (23.3-bp156.1.6) of stellarium. I did not change it.
I do not have indi package on my system, neither 2.1.2.1 nor 2.1.3.
So as I understand it, nothing has changed on my system. Maybe some libs, but which? I never had any warnings while zypper up.
I have stellarium 24.4 AppImage which is higher version of mine and it somehow works (what abaout indi?).
Thanks for your answers and explaining. I do learn that way.

Oops, sorry, I looked to Tumbleweed. But on Leap 15.6 it probably the same - libindi was recently updated from 2.0.0 to 2.1.1.

Try downgrading it back to the GA version. If it helps, open bug report against Maintenance component.

Downgrading libindiclient2 to 2.0.0-bp156.3.8 solved my problem.
Hurrah!
Thanks.

Now, how and where to open bug report against Maintenance component?

i just build from github

been doing this for many years now

In leap 15.6, I have unloaded current version of stellarium sourcecode from their website. Software completes cmake configure ok. It does not complete make due to qt6 problems. I tried adding more qt6 apps but no success. Gets about 50% through make process.

I too used to compile stellarium but now no success. Temporarily I am using the appimage.

I also have tumbleweed in vm. Stellarium downloaded by zypper in tumbleweed runs fine.

I always use the web version … but I suspect the app version offers more features.

I opened bug report. Bug-1241482
(It was my first report)
