Installing on Fedora 29?
« on: 2018 November 07 16:52:22 »
PixInsight was running fine on Fedora 28. After upgrading to Fedora 29 I have not mangaged to get PixInsight to start. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling PixInsight. Did not find a log file or error message why
it does not start.

Directly running PixInsight.sh outputs:
$ /opt/PixInsight/bin/PixInsight.sh
/opt/PixInsight/bin/lib/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.9'

Renaming
/opt/PixInsight/bin/lib/libz.so.1.2.7 to libz.so.1.2.9

Then PixInsight.sh produces:
Auto configuration failed
140030522994240:error:0E079065:configuration file routines:DEF_LOAD_BIO:missing equal sign:conf_def.c:362:line 40

Directly running PixInsight executable outputs:
$ /opt/PixInsight/bin/PixInsight
/opt/PixInsight/bin/PixInsight: error while loading shared libraries: libidn.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 ls -l /opt/PixInsight/bin/lib/libidn.so*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     17 Nov  7 11:03 /opt/PixInsight/bin/lib/libidn.so -> libidn.so.11.6.11
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     17 Nov  7 11:03 /opt/PixInsight/bin/lib/libidn.so.11 -> libidn.so.11.6.11
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 208928 Aug 22  2014 /opt/PixInsight/bin/lib/libidn.so.11.6.11
[tg@tbreak ]$

removing the links and copying libidn.so.11.6.11 to libidn.so.11
does not help

Any suggestions on how to get PixInsight working with Fedora 29?

I made another Fedora 29 system and a fresh PixInsight install with the same results. ~/.PixInsight/PixInsight.conf line 40 appears normal if that is the file to which the error message refers.
