When you say "these two files missing" do you mean they fail to get downloaded, or does xastir fail to start with a missing shared library? Actual error messages would be helpful for diagnosing the problem. > Is there anyone that is running Ubuntu 6.10, with the latest version of > Xastir, if so I would like to know how to go about getting it to compile all > of the scripts needed... The wiki details everything, and the process it describes has been checked and rechecked, and frequently updated as ubuntu packages change. I most recently followed the directions on a new 7.04 system, and it all worked as advertised. The only thing I can think of that would break the gdal install would be if the 1.3.2 tarball that get-maptools.sh tries to get were no longer available -- when I did my 7.04 test install I skipped that because xastir doesn't even really use it much, and I never use the few capabilities that it does provide. Geotiff is tricky, as there's a bug in its makefile that requires special hacks to the get-maptools.sh file --- if you don't do those, it won't build. The hacks are described in the wiki. If you post the actual error messages you get we might be able to hone in on what the real problem is. Curt's suggestion about ldconfig would normally be a usual suspect, but get-maptools.sh (the script the wiki tells you to use) would have taken care of that. -- 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?
