Re: [Xastir] Xastir 1.9 and Fedora 7 build-up
All is running well now. I am committing bit-banging abuse to Gerry's server getting the state map. Also, I am running a GlobalSat BT-359 Bluetooth GPS receiver and it is feeding my location to the GPS. I am not using gpsd either. So far, so good. Now to see where it all leads now. 73 from 807, Richard, N6NKO P.S.: Mom Nature wussed out! Huge bad boy storms predicted and all we get is some lame clouds. Pretty sunset though.

Re: [Xastir] Xastir 1.9 and Fedora 7 build-up
I just trashed the .xastir directory. It was listed at /usr/share/xastir for xastir.cnf. Restarted xastir to recreate directory and terminated. xastir.cnf now shows /usr/local/share/xastir/...

Have you been running Xastir of various versions for quite some time? It might be that a very old path is in your ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf file. That might be where the /usr/share/xastir path is coming from. If you were to start from no config file at all it'd create a fresh default one for you that should work without that symlink. You could try renaming your config file to something else and restarting Xastir without the symlink in place. -- Curt, WE7U.

[Xastir] Xastir 1.9 and Fedora 7 build-up
Nutshell build... Install from repo: lesstif & devel proj, nad, and devel shapelib & devel Download and build with configure --prefix=/usr: gdal libgeotiff gpsman One small issue - xastir was looking for .xbm's in /usr/share/xastir and they were installed in /usr/local/share/xastir. Did a symbolic link. Runs just fine sans maps. 73 from 807 (via the salt mine), Richard, N6NKO ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
