symbol lookup error

[LucMorizur]

Hi;

many thanks for Celestia software, and very sorry that war in Ukraine troubles the forum.

I just tried to install Celestia on Ubuntu 22.04. First, tried to compile it, never managed to make it find stars.dat database file (message "Cannot read star database" at startup splash screen).

Thus, properly cleaned everything on HDD, and installed Celestia with apt (after having properly registered the key with gpg). It doesn't launch; if started from a console:

Code: Select all

luc@LGS1:~ $ celestia-qt
celestia-qt: symbol lookup error: celestia-qt: undefined symbol: _ZNK8celestia4util6Logger4vlogENS0_5LevelEN3fmt2v617basic_string_viewIcEENS4_11format_argsE


I couldn't find any reliable answer to this issue, only found quite weird information.

Many thanks if someone can help !

To use a version compiled on your own you need to clone 2 repositories:

• https://github.com/CelestiaProject/Celestia.git
• https://github.com/CelestiaProject/CelestiaContent.git

For both run

Code: Select all

cmake
make
sudo make install


By default everything will be installed into /usr/local. You can override this location by passing

Code: Select all

 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/desided/path

to cmake.

Added after 2 minutes 46 seconds:
Regarding the built version, I assume you have taken it from munix repository. I suppose the root cause that you have left file libcelestia.so.1.7.0 in /usr/local/. Find and remove it.

Sorry for such a late answer. Many thanks @onetwothree for your very kind reply. Unfortunately in the meanwhile I had to change my laptop; on the new one I installed Celestia via snap. I might try to re-install it though — and thus, I think, compile it — as I now face a new issue.
