Thanks for the heads up on the "add remove software" changes! Looks like we'll have to go CLI to keep things universal across GUI changes.

I've modified the entry in the Wiki to make it work for releases from F7 to F9 - lemme know what you think.

FWIW, I've built Xastir on 3 different F9 machines using that Wiki 'checklist' - just never had to install the development stuff. The CVS servers can be slow - very slow - too )@#! slow at times. But they do work, eventually.

BTW, an earlier part of the wiki doesn't work with Fedora 9. The
package management is quite different in Fedora 9, and there is no Applications>Add/Remove Software option. Instead we have System>Administration>Add/Remove packages but you have to specify individual packages, not "development tools:. Below does not exist:

If by chance, you didn't install Fedora with the required development tools, 
start the 'Add/Remove Software' tool from the Applications Menu. Choose 
'Development' and make sure you have the following groups installed:

    * Development Libraries
    * Development Tools
    * Gnome or KDE development (depending on your desktop of choice)
    * X Software Development

I've heard of folks successfully building Xastir on Fedora 9, so I guess I need 
to find the source somewhere other than cvs?
