Problem with Ekos/kStars 3.2.2 and Astrometry

[Jasem Mutlaq]

Hello Stanley,

It appears this problem was reported in INDI forum:
https://indilib.org/forum/ekos/5259-test-on-kstars-3-2-3-on-mac-missing-astrometry-net-binaries.html

Robert is following up with it since he manages the KStars Mac release.
