I greatly appreciate the instructions at xastir.org/wiki, specifically the HowTo:Fedora, and... I know that I'm likely 99% close to a successful install, but have encountered some problems that I need help with.
I'm using Fedora Core 5 on a Pentium system. >From the wiki instructions, I checked for ImageMagick and the -devel (it was installed on the computer). The festival install didn't suit me (I have enough things in life talking to me...). I checked for libtiff (it was installed on the computer). Lesstif was not installed and yum failed to find it. While running yum and after it connected to the server, yum reported: No match for argument lesstif lesstif-devel Nothing to do. Well, I didn't know if lesstif was a needed install. Checking the fedora core 5 website listing of rpm's showed no package named lesstif or lesstif-devel. Can someone suggest what I should do? I wanted to press on with the other installs, so the proj-4.5.0 installed fine, as did the proj-datumgrid, libgeotiff-1.2.3, and the shapelib-1.2.9. After each install I ran ldconfig. I didn't remove the source directories of these packages (just in case I needed them). I downloaded Xastir (stable version 1.8.5) and the ./configure failed at the Motif libraries. I downloaded the openmotif rpm packages from the Fedora website and installed the devel package as well. The Xastir completed the ./configure without any Motif errors, so I proceeded with the make and make install commands, which performed fine. When I enter the command Xastir from a user level (and as root) I get this shape library error: xastir: error while loading shared libraries: libshp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I thought maybe I had skipped a step in the wiki instructions, so I went back to the shapelib source directory and attempted a the "make lib, make lib_install, ldconfig" sequence again. It all installed without error, but I still get the same error above. The "whereis libshp.so.1" command results in: libshp.so: /usr/local/lib/libshp.so /usr/local/lib/libshp.so.1 That's where I've stopped. Can anyone offer suggestions, comments, and any "Did you try..." please? I'd be grateful for any and all help. - Mark Rice, N4CMB [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
