Why would you hate to tell us about bug reports???  ;-)

If we don't hear about stuff, we can't fix it!

What version of Xastir is it?  Did you compile it for RedHat 8.0 or
for a previous version?  Are you using LessTif or OpenMotif
libraries?

Did you just install the precompiled Xastir that was on the RedHat
CD's?  If so, try the latest (October 17, 2002 version) and compile
it yourself.  You'll be amazed at the changes.

Anyone else having trouble with RedHat 8.0?

It's been reported already that Xastir runs well with SuSE 8.1.
