[Xastir] Maps ?

[William McKeehan]

OK,

I've now tried it with built-from-source ImageMagick. I tried with two
versions: 6.0.2-7 and 5.5.7-22 both yield the same results - no maps,  only a
black screen.

I'm using Xastir version 1.3.3 from June 16, 2004.

Each time, the map.gif was downloaded correctly (as I confirmed via "display
~/.xastir/tmp/map.gif").

The Online/USRadar.geo does not work either - it downloads the file map.png
(which looks OK when viewed with display), but turns my window black.

Any other suggestions?

The box that I am building/running this on is a small box - only has 32 MB
Ram. With Xastir running, free memory is down to around 3MB, but I have lots
of swap available (100MB or so). Could this be related?
