The .geo code in map_geo prints out this message when it attempts to 
use the "XpmReadFileToImage" call --- which is only supposed to be used to
read in xpm (X PixMap) files.

For whatever reason your xastir does not have support for jpg or any other
raster map compiled in, and the code is trying to load them as if they're
xpm files.

To use xastir with jpg or PNG files (such as the ones you're going to get
from USRadar.geo), you need to have ImageMagick working.  Do you?
