[Xastir] One step closer with my RH 9 install, BUT

[Gale Wilkinson]

Well, the following are the package versions I tarballed/compiled on the 
system:

LessTif-0.93.41
Shapelib-1.2.10
ImageMagick-5.5.7

There are 2 of us here who have been having problems getting it up and 
running under RH 9.   Though we both did an initial try of Xastir using 
Cygwin and had no problems on the Windoze boxes.  Though in my case as 
this is a totally fresh install on a clean hard drive for the express 
purpose of  setting up xastir I may just wipe the drive and do a clean 
installl of RH in server mode and then start from scratch using nothing 
but csv's like we did on Cygwin.  It is good possibility that while I 
was trying to figure out a dependencey problem earlier that  I could 
definitely have messed something up. 

Oh well, the more things I mess up and find out what I did so I don't do 
it again, the more learn.
