[Xastir] install help

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

While you don't say which Linux distribution you're using, I think 
you'll find you are missing the XFree86-devel package.  When you start 
compiling code that interacts with so many of the systems in the OS, you 
end up having to load the packages that pertain to "development" of 
those systems as they provide key compile time elements.

That looks like what you have here.

What Distribution?  If RedHat or Debian, use apt-get to get the 
appropriate packages and install 'em.  I can help (as can many here) 
with finding and implementing apt for Linux.
