Ok. In the case where you _do_ try to use Terraserver, you'll end
up with a map.gif or map.jpg in the ~/.xastir/tmp/ directory. Take
a look at that with ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick and see if IM/GM
crashes when you run "display" or "gm display" on the file.
What do I look for if there is no file(s) in either the temp directory
or the map_cache directories?
Ok, if that's the case then either libcurl or wget was not able to
fetch the file. Check your start up messages to see which you're
using. A snippet of mine looks like this:
geo URL (Internet maps via libcurl library)
Which leads me to conclude that I compiled libcurl in. I'd then try
downloading a remote file using "curl" from the command line to see
if the library was functional at all. Same for wget, if your
compile used wget instead, try doing a wget on a remote URL. See if
this is what is crashing on you. I recall having a bad wget install
at one point and having to update it to a newer version.
Of course this problem could be happening earlier in the map load
too, before it tries to fetch the remote map. Starting Xastir in
debug mode and checking the resulting file should give us some clues
there.

I think I found out something interesting today. While trying to figure
out why I was getting segfaults, I noticed that I had compiled with
Graphicsmajick. I removed GM and installed with Imagemajick instead. Now
everything works!!!
Maybe this would help others having strange problems?
