[Xastir] Two stupid Q's

[John Bennett]

Kurt,

Installed on RH9 here. After much cussing, teeth-grinding, etc. I
discovered that you need a bunch of devel packages installed in order to
get it built under RHx. The devel packages contain the required header
and library files for Xastir to compile and link. Many are not present
in a normal RH installation. It is not necessary to rip everything out
and install the tarballs. Be warned that doing so may break other things
in RH since they have a tendency to move things around as compared to
other flavors of Linux.

One lib not in RHx is the shapelib package. You will need the tarball
for that. Nothing in the package docs tell how to build/install as a
library. Follow Curt's instructions in the Xastir INSTALL file to
build/install the library so that it will be seen when Xastir is built.
