@Mr.Smith1974 Oh I see, thanks for your help. It would be convenient if astap-bin was installed into /opt/astap so it would just work with this package.

@tremar123 The developer writes here that everything is correct: https://sourceforge.net/p/astap-program/discussion/general/thread/464389f9a8/

That is correct, but when I try to plate solve, it says "No star database found! Download and install one star database."

I checked with this command "sudo strace -f -t -e trace=file -p 8957":

[pid  8957] 10:41:50 access("/usr/share/astap/data/d80_0101.1476", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

You can see "astap-bin" is trying to find database data inside "/usr/share/astap/data/" directory. I don't know what I am doing wrong, but this looks to be astap-bin's fault. Unfortunately, there is no way of setting this directory manually as far as I know.

@tremar123 In docs: https://sourceforge.net/projects/astap-program/files/star_databases/

Download and install the D50 database (d50_star_database.deb) or if you want to save disk space the D20 or D05 depending on your setup field-of-view. You will need only one database. The files will be placed in the ASTAP program directory /opt/astap

Files are installed into "/opt/astap" directory, but astap-bin expects them in "/usr/share/astap/data", I had to copy them to make it work with astap-bin.

@tremar123 Thanks, updated.

Hello, please can "astap-bin" - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/astap-bin package be added as an alternative dependency? I prefer gtk version and don't want to install Qt5 one.
