There's a lot to learn, isn't there?  ;-)  Most of it should be in
the README.1ST.  If we're lacking there, or it can be made more
obvious to first-time users, please let us know:  We'll change it!

Xastir uses the same commands as most other free software out there.
Here are the steps to get it running:

    ./configure (configures it)
    make (compiles it)
    make install-strip (or "make install")
    su (become root)
    chmod 4555 /usr/local/bin/xastir (change permissions)
    exit (from root)

After that, you should be able to type "xastir &" and it should come
right up.

Let me know if you need anything else.  We actually LIKE to help our
users.  ;-)  There are additional libraries you can compile in for
more map support.

FWIW:  I'm running several SuSE 7.3 systems.  SuSE is a good choice.
