[Xastir] required libs for configure

[Han Sytsma]

Hi,

If I remember well, there was something with LessTiff and I installed
open motig on RH 9 to get it to work, not sure about that, but I had
Xastir running on it.
I cannot verify it at the moment the machine is currently playing
Windows XP, maybe I can check it out in a few weeks when I don't need Xp
anymore.

For Henk: Xastir runs quite well on Suse 8.2

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.
