There are probably few on here that are running the LaCrosse.
Support for it was only added recently, but it's similar to how the
Davis support was added, so perhaps one of the people running Davis
weather stations could help a bit too.

You'll need to go into the xastir/LaCrosse subdirectory and do a
configure/make/make install there:

    cd xastir/LaCrosse
    ./configure
    make
    su (become root)
    make install
    exit (from root)

At that point you'll have the "open2300db2APRS" executable installed
in /usr/local/bin.  That's the shim program that snags the data out
of the database for use by Xastir.

As I understand it, you'll need to have open2300, Mysql,
open2300db2APRS, and Xastir all running in order to make this system
work.  See the README file in the xastir/LaCrosse directory for
details.
