The #endif solved the problem. ./configure, make, and make install worked 
fine. Thanks!

Would this problem have caused a problem with Shapefiles not available in 
Xastir? I have errors during ./configure shown on the image at 
http://www.kk6rw.com/shapefilerr.png  thats show usability of shapefil  --  
no.

I've followed instructions in README.win32 but cannot get shapefiles to show 
on map chooser.

Any suggestions or what to check?

Thanks Tom!
