Curt,
You guys might like to know that I demonstrated Xastir yesterday at a
digital install party in our local EOC, most had never used it because
they were still stuck in the UIView world (dieing as it is) and were
glad to know a replacement was available. One of the local guys around
here does install parties all the time and started about a year ago
pushing Xastir as an alternative to UIView and honestly telling people
why.
I like Xastir, yes I wish it had a new UI and yes some of the other
issue drive me nuts but I love to play with it, my wife and I use it
extensively for Near Space Ventures balloon tracking and it played a
prominent roll in the recent GPSL held here in Kansas City a couple of
weekends ago. We are now becoming active with HARRT a local search and
rescue group specializing in the use of dogs and plan to attache GPS's
to them and use Xastir to track.
I don't find DB4 in my /sw/ anyplace so I'm guessing I don't have it
installed. It's really kind of strange, I have searched and searched
with Google looking for DB4 to put on OS X and can't find a
distribution. Unless you have a thought I'll post the question on some
Apple boards and see if they can help me.
Below is my usual sequence of events to install/update Xastir;
/* start here */
cd xastir-1.9.4
make clean
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --prefix=/sw --with-bdb-incdir=/sw/include/db4 --with-bdb-
libdir=/sw/lib --with-imageMagick=/sw/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.7
make
sudo make install
sudo chmod 4755 /sw/bin/xastir
/* end here */
Notice I've removed the --with-rtree as you suggested. I really don't
know what the ./bootstrap.sh does but I've alway used it too.

I did everything you suggested here Curt, removed every trace of
LessTif I could find from my machine. Installed
OpenMotif-2.1.32-22i into usr/ and then ran the following;
./configure --prefix=/sw --with-rtree --with-bdb-incdir=/sw/include/
db4 --with-bdb-libdir=/sw/lib
You should be able to skip the --with-rtree flag now as that's the
default.
I even rebooted after. But I still don't have menu names in Timing.
Did you do a "make" afterwards and then change to root and do a
"make install"?
1) How do I make sure that LessTif is completely gone from my
system, what would be the Unix entry to do this?
If you installed everything in /sw, I'd look in /sw/lib,
/sw/include, /sw/include/Xm, etc. for anything with lesstif in the
name. I can't recall how closely it appears to be motif now: It is
designed to be a replacement for Motif so it may appear very much
the same as a Motif install.
2) Is the ./configure I use above OK or should I modify it in some
way, I have to admit I really don't know what that does, I suspect
it does exactly what it says "configure"'s Xastir. But for example
it does not turn map caching on and somewhere I was given this ./
configure to do that.
Map caching should automatically be enabled by "configure" if it
finds the Berkeley DB library and include files. If you have DB4
installed in /sw/include/db4 and /sw/lib as you show in your
configure line then it should find it.
3) Should I be running GraphicsMagick or imageMagick?
Whichever works best for you. They're mostly interchangeable. I
prefer GM unless there's some problem with it. I'm running IM now
because the GM package for OpenSUSE-11.0 is compiled incorrectly.
Libraries used: GraphicsMagick libProj GeoTiff ShapeLib PCRE Dbfawk
rtree libcurl
@(#)Motif Version 2.3.0
GraphicsMagick 1.1.7 2005-10-12 Q8 http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/
Looks good except "map_caching" is not listed which means there's
something wrong with your DB4 install or your configure line that
specifies where to find them, and except for the "Motif Version
2.3.0" as someone else already mentioned.
