[Xastir] XASTIR <=> RH 8.0

[J. Lance Cotton]

I put RH 8.0 on my laptop. Installed all dev libraries through the RH 
installer. Compiled my own Shapelib, libgeotiff, libtiff, libproj, and 
ImageMagick. Had no problems with CVS compile of Xastir. Runs great, 
even with Festival.

What W8JSA describes sounds sort of like what I saw when I compile with 
the LessTif libraries now, instead of the OpenMotif. (I think. I'll have 
to get home before i can check if it's the other way around).
