[Xastir] Shapelib & Cygwin

[Steve Friis]

OK, so I did make the directory, ran the script and that worked ok it 
seems.
Then I redid the "./configure" and make and "make install. All seemed to 
run without a hitch. However when I now run "xastir &" it breaks. It use 
to run before only without shapelib. The error message says"

[steve at Laptop ~]$ xastir &
[1] 9573
xastir: error while loading shared libraries: libshp.so.1: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
[steve at Laptop ~]$

I did a file search and it tells me "link broken" under type, but the 
file is there.

I really would appreciate your help fixing this. I would really miss not 
having xastir work onthe laptop. I am really new to linux, so don't 
understand all the workings of this OS.
