    Im running x86_64 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I downloaded the deb file and dlapi from another recent thread. The deb file installs without errors, as does the dlapi. But when I run the sample application I just getL

    ./main
    ./main: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.65.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    pterodyne@pteroubuntu:~/Downloads/dlapi.sdk.linux_1.2.2-0_amd64/sample$

    my system seems to have libboost_system.so.1.67. series. with 1.71 available in the normal repositories. I don't know what the ramifications of somehow installing an older version are.

    The other question is, with these drivers am I able to use indi? If not it's academic to know the answer above anyway, because all the software Im aware of in linux mostly uses indi. I tried the default sbig indi driver but it doesn't connect to the camera.

    If not indi, what software would directly support this camera/guider? I installed PHD2 but it seems to require the use of indi also.

    Thanks for any advice. What Id really love is an X2 driver for TSX running under linux.
