Check out the README and INSTALL files in the Xastir distribution.
The information might be a bit dated there, but still might be
useful.
Stephen-K1LNX,
Below are the notes I made to help me remember how to install it. I
often use Fink (and have used MacPorts) to help install support
packages. I have also installed all from scratch. Feel free to
contact here or directly if you have questions.
Now I just re-read the quoted text and I see that you purchased a new
Macbook. If it is brand new then it will have Leopard installed.
Generally this is good, but the X11 (X Windows) that ships with it
has some issues. I recommend going to http://xquartz.sourceforge.org
and follow the directions to update the X11 and associated libraries
and miscellaneous other parts. I have been using it on one machine
with good success (the others are still with Tiger). Again, if you
have questions feel free to contact direct.

Installing Xastir on a Mac: (use in concert with the INSTALL doc
file which has more detail I don't wish to reproduce here)
by Chip (N1MIE) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
1. Install a Motif package (openmotif or lesstif can be installed
via Fink) [I found openmotif caused problems on my system (odd menu
issues), so I removed and installed lesstif which worked great. You
may also need to try it both ways.]
2. Ensure an entry similar to the below is in your '.bashrc' or
'.bash_profile' file:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib
*3. Install libproj (can be installed as 'proj' via Fink)
Install/update libtiff (can be installed via Fink)
Install libgeotiff
download and uncompress file (http://www.remotesensing.org/
geotiff/geotiff.html)
"./configure" or "./configure --prefix=/sw" (second places files
same place as Fink)
"sudo make"
"sudo make install"
*4. Install ShapeLib
download and uncompress file (http://shapelib.maptools.org)
"cc -c shpopen.c"
"cc -c shptree.c"
"cc -c dbfopen.c"
"ar cru libshp.a shpopen.o shptree.o dbfopen.o"
"sudo cp libshp.a /sw/lib"
"sudo ranlib /sw/lib/libshp.a"
"sudo mkdir /sw/include/libshp"
"sudo cp shapefil.h /sw/include/libshp/"
*5. Install ImageMagick (can be installed via Fink) [I had problems
when I used a pre-6.2 version]
*6. Install wget or curl (normally already present on OS X Macs)
*7. Install gpsman and gpsmanshp (I haven't tried this) [Not
available via Fink]
*8. Install Festival (I haven't tried this)
*9. Install GDAL (can be installed via Fink, must be done manually
on Intel Macs unless you enable Fink unstable tree)
download and uncompress file (http://remotesensing.org/gdal/)
"./configure --prefix=/sw --with-local=/sw/lib --with-
gif=internal --with-jpeg=internal" (may need to modify if you don't
use Fink)
"sudo make"
"sudo make install"
*10. Install Berkeley DataBase (can be installed via Fink)
11. Build Xastir (commands need to be executed from within
directory where Xastir source resides)
"./bootstrap.sh"
"./configure --with-bdb-libdir=/sw/lib --with-bdb-incdir=/sw/
include/db4"
or "./configure --with-bdb-libdir=/sw/lib --with-bdb-incdir=/sw/
include/db4 --prefix=/sw" (latter for use with Fink)
You can type "./configure --help" to get a list of all options.
Two other good options are "--with-rtree" and "--with-profiling".
* Optional installs
