Well, at least it runs on RedHat 5.2 (4 year old? 2.0.36 kernel), so it 
even runs on very old Linux systems... Of course you need extra packages 
like LessTif and such and even newer packages of automake and gawk - which 
are mostly TAR balls as RPM binaries for these old systems are not made 
anymore. But it works and is stable.

Well, maybe the messages is clumsy and trying to tell you that you need the 
development packages? I mean LessTif or Motif headerfiles and libraries. 
You can run X but not compile X applications... This is just a longshot, 
maybe RedHat moved some stuff on RH 9.0 causing configure to fail...

On my RH 5.2 system I have all optional libraries except festival; the 
AX.25 libs of this version are not usable so I compile without kernel AX.25 
support (I add access to the AX.25 kernel through an external program).

On my SuSE 7.3 system I have no problem at all with Xastir. I don't know 
why your RH 9.0 fails.

Kind regards,

Henk.
