KStars crashing whenever it starts indi was created by Matt Todman

Whenever I try and start an indiserver from withing KStars (either pressing the START INDI button from the EKOS window or via TOOLS > DEVICES > DEVICE MANAGER), KStars crashes.
I've tried
sudo apt-get remove indi-full kstars-bleeding
followed by
sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding
but that didn't have any effect.
Note that I can start an indiserver manually (indiserver -v drivername) and access that using pixinsight without any issues.

Any ideas?

Hi.
I tried running "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade" but it has made no difference.
Any further ideas before I reinstall linux from scratch?

Thanks

Matt

Still no luck I'm afraid.

I also tried connecting to an indiserver on a different machine but the same thing happened.

OK. Problem solved.
It looks like I had inadvertently recompiled libindi with the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX set to /usr/local instead of /usr.
Much to my gratitude, Jasem was able to use remote access to login to my computer and quickly sort this out.
Thanks Jasem.
