Beats me. This is not something that the difference between shared library and static linked library versions should be responsible for. WHen you say you did a cp -r to your "test directory" do you mean that your new Xastir build is looking for maps in a different place than your old? That is almost certainly the reason for the difference. If I were you, I'd just put your old /usr/local back where it was, and rebuild xastir with internal shapelib by using "--without-shapelib" instead of trying to hide the external shapelib and all the /usr/local stuff. When you specify "--without-shapelib" now, configure doesn't even look for a system-wide installation, and always uses our internal version. You're best off doing this by having two different build directories and using a "--program-prefix". See README.CVS for details. If you reduce the difference between versions to only the static-linked vs. dynamic linked shapelib, then I'm sure you'll see the anomalies you're describing go away. They are too bizarre to be the result of switching with shapelib you're using. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
