Re: [Xastir] Compile issues
Alex and the Group .. Well Ive made some serious breakthroughs .. Ive managed to get xastir 1.90 working with raster maps of a fashion.. Ive had little time this last week to spend on this but last night I thought I would try and get ImageMagick to compile .. It didnt work which is no real suprise. Imagamagick seems to be a mother of all apps.. Quite oversized compared to xastir.. The whole package will become predominantly imagemagick with xastir being a small portion.. Anyway .. After the install of imagemagick failed I decided to carry on regardless and compile xastir .. Much to my suprise it compiled with imagemagick support.. And whats more it ran and displays raster maps.. Ive created a xastir 1.9.0 deb file using checkinstall but it wont run upon reboot and reinstall of the deb file... Remember this is a Live CD boot and I am not doing any backups on shutdown.. xastir has issues with libmagick.so.6 and cant find it. Looks like imagemagick again I think.. Just getting raster support was a major jaw dropper last night to say the least.. So some real progress I guess. For most people the failure of image magic to install but xastir compiling probably wouldnt matter. For me it is an issue because what I need to do is to make a deb file for image magic and include it in the Live CD bootup as a package .. So I need to correct the issues with the imagemagick install. Any hints are appreciated.. Here is the configure results. http://www.users.on.net/~wavetel/temp/imagemagick-config.gif It appears to be configuring with perl magic .. Anything else thats amiss may be shown here as well.. Do I need PerlMagick ?? Here are the errors encountered with the make install http://www.users.on.net/~wavetel/temp/imagemagick-make-install.gif It appears to have issues with Perl magick .. I have found some helpful hints on this web page http://studio.imagemagick.org/pipermail/magick-users/2003-September/010612.html Here are some things it says that may be relavant. Can you tell me what is relavant here ? > Preparing to build Imagemagick >You are going to need a few packages before you can build Imagemagick >Install ghostscript: gsfonts, gs, gs-common >Install perl development: libperl-dev >Install jpeg support: libjpeg62-dev >Install freetype support: libfreetype6-dev And what about this comment ? >./configure --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts >The path to the ghostscript fonts is incorrect for Debian.

Somehow I don't think it's shapefile related. I need to talk to some of the guys at SPC in Norman. May be an excuse to go up there as I've got business across the hall from them at NSSL, too... As to the new shapefile of the hour problem, we've also identified problems with NWS GIS products they weren't even aware of. The "We" is a guy in training in the COMET program in Boulder, and me. We've been saying the same things in isolation for about the same period. Now we're getting more traction as a team. I'd really like to see us fix that problem before we see NWS issue too much more data with little spatial QC. Their intent is good but these guys are weather geeks who have also discovered GIS and may not have studied some of the subtleties... gerry David Flood wrote: Is this possibly related to the new Public Forecast Zones shapefile that has a valid date of 1 Aug 07? http://www.weather.gov/geodata/catalog/wsom/html/pubzone.htm It's getting so they are releasing new shapefiles faster than we can keep up.

Re: [Xastir] Feature idea for Xastir
Don't know if we could include the database engine in Xastir, and that's rather contrary to the Unix Way of Doing Things, but we could facilitate portage, rpm's and deb's to cover most of the obvious ones with a postgres dependency, and a component to add the postgis patch. More'n likely my preference will be to target PostgreSQL 8.0 and PostGIS 0.9 (or higher in both cases) so anything newer would be acceptable. The program overhead for these is relatively light. I do not propose to support a tarball with dependencies. Slack is not where I'd like to go... gerry KC7ZRU wrote: If I'm understanding this right, that'd work for me!! Thanks for the discussion.

or another way to downgrade OpenMotif... you can use Yast (search for 'motif' to find the installed libraries) to uninstall the existing 2.3 version of openMotif, and then use the procedure below from the HowTo:OpenSUSE 10.2 in the Wiki to install the older version. Use Firefox to browse to the site below. ftp://ftp.ics.com/openmotif/2.2/2.2.4/suse-9.1/ The two required files are as follows: openmotif-libs-2.2.4-0.1.i586.rpm openmotif-libs-devel-2.2.4-0.1.i586.rpm Select the first of the two OpenMotif files above while in FireFox, and the browser will give you the option of either saving to disk or installing with Zen Installer. Choose to install with Zen, and the file will be downloaded and installed automatically. The files need to be installed in the order they appear above. Auto-updates does tell me a new version is available, but I just ignore it. ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

[Xastir] Easy fix for missing slider text in SUSE 10.2 and 10.3
Hello one and all, After upgrading to SUSE 10.3 (further pitfalls and gotcha's to follow later), I see that it still has the slider text bug in OpenMotif. However, there is an easy fix and I also verified that it works in 10.2 also. (I haven't put this in the Wiki yet, I only just got registered and I'm trying to make sense of the pages there already to make sure I put this info where people can find it). 1) Using the Installation Sources part of Yast, add these two locations using the Specify URL method: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/non-oss-inst-source/ 2) Once Yast is through digesting those, fire up the Software Management module of Yast and search for 'motif' (without the quotes) 3) Make sure that Auto-check is turned off (a checkbox at the bottom of the screen). 4) For each item that was found that has a checkmark next to it indicating that it's installed, do these steps:' 4a) Click on the item 4b) In the box below the list, click on the version tab 4c) Click in the little circle next to the lowest version available 5) Once you've done that for all the checked programs, they should have the little ying-yang symbol on them indicating a reinstall is required 6) Click on the Check button. This may indicate that some other software needs to be downgraded. This is OK 7) Click on OK or Finish for the change to take effect 8) Open a terminal window, do a full ./bootstrap;./configure;make clean;make in your source directory 9) Using the su or sudo of your choice, do a make install 10) Launch Xastir and you should be good to go The other good news is that I've seen very few updates to OpenMotif released once the CD is made but double check that you aren't upgrading it every time you launch Auto-Updates.
