Jees, not even a nibble on this one!?

Well, after fooling around, with no joy, I decided to start from 
scratch, and once again followed the instructions found here.

http://info.aprs.net/wikka.php?wakka=GaleWilkinson

Not trusting Synaptic to do the right things, I checked all the packages 
with apt-get, and it tells me they are installed, and I have the latest 
versions.

With the exception of libmagick6-dev, which was replaced by 
libmagick9-dev, which is installed.

The cvs co went without any errors, and everything was marked with a U, 
for upgrade I believe?

Here are my results:

     5) Running aclocal...

Now, if I "cd ~/xastir" the following happens:

darryl at Chatto:~/xastir$ ./bootstrap.sh
     6) Removing autom4te.cache directory...

I checked my path, and it looks ok, but I'm not sure why the system is 
telling me no such file or directory?

darryl at Chatto:~/xastir$ $PATH
bash: 
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games: 
No such file or directory
darryl at Chatto:~/xastir$

At this point I don't know what to do? My notes from my previous cvs 
install are on looseleaf paper, and they got loose from me. :/ And my 
Thunderbird Mail was partially munged in the crash, and half of my 
Xastir emails are mia.

Does apt-get have a cache of packages that it thinks are installed, but 
I could have lost in the crash?

I'm open to any, and all suggestions, including rebuilding the box from 
scratch, which I'm planning to do anyway. But I would prefer to have 
Xastir operational before rebuilding the box.
