No, not really. If I had actually dug before making the suggestion, I'd have realized that split_q.c isn't used by the rtree library in xastir, even though it's present in the source tree. So nothing in it can conflict with split_l.c, and my suggestion was just bollocks. So in fact, I have NO idea why FC7 (and apparently FC6, or maybe that was just FC7 Beta) is doing this. I don't even know what that error message means. > So, I reupdated from CVS and configure --without-rtree. Make then finishes, > and the application runs. > > What am I missing without rtree? Wiklipedia tells me that rtrees are ways of > indexing spatial data... Seems like most of Xastir would need that! Rtrees are used in xastir only to speed up shapefile rendering. Without the rtrees, every time you zoom or pan a map, all the shapefiles in it are searched linearly for shapes that overlap the screen. With rtrees, a fast lookup can be done to access only those shapes that overlap without searching through the entire file. It can make things a lot faster if you're doing a lot of zooming and panning. -- 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?
