It seems your right, everything is now owned by Oracle. I went to
their site and downloaded Berkeley DB 4.7.25 but I have no idea how to
install it or even if I can on OS X running BSD Unix.
Does this mean you may have to find another DB for this purpose?

I don't find DB4 in my /sw/ anyplace so I'm guessing I don't have

a distribution. Unless you have a thought I'll post the question on
some Apple boards and see if they can help me.
Look for Berkeley DB, Sleepycat, db4.3, db4.4, db4.5. I think
Sleepycat was bought by Oracle in the last year or two so that might
be a clue as well. I usually find it under the name Berkeley DB or
Sleepycat.
You'll need a db4.x library and the header files to go with it. You
specify in your configure line below where to find it, so look there
first to see if you might have already installed it in those two
places (/sw/include/db4 and /sw/lib).
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 */
Pretty much how I do things as a developer. If you're snagging
development snapshots or releases of Xastir and not using CVS then
you can probably skip the "bootstrap.sh" step. People that run
"bootstrap.sh" must have "autoconf" and "automake" installed for
bootstrap to complete successfully. Most people just use the
"configure" script that comes in the snapshots as their first step.
If you run CVS versions of Xastir then you _do_ need to go through
the bootstrap.sh step.
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.
That runs several commands having to do with autoconf and automake:
It creates a new "configure" script from scratch among other things.
My method is this:
make distclean
./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make && sudo make install && sudo chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/xastir
I don't need any options to configure. The last long line will stop
at the first failure, else continue on.
