Again, for those that wish to try the Linux Standard Base (LSB) x86
binary:

*) Make sure your Linux system has an x86 processor of some type and
is LSB-compliant.  Usually this last bit involves installing a
package like "lsb" or "lsb-base".

*) Download the binary package from:

    ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/u/a/archer/aprs/xastir/LSB/

It should be of the format:  "xastir-lsb-1.8.5.tar.bz2"

*) Install it:

    su
    cd   /
    tar  xjvf  xastir-lsb-1.8.5.tar.bz2
    exit (from root)

*) Run it:

    /opt/Xastir/bin/xastir &


No compiling necessary if you have an LSB-compliant system!

Differences between this and a standard install:  Instead of
installing everything starting at the "/usr/local/" heirarchy, we
install starting at "/opt/Xastir/".

This means your map directories start at:
"/opt/Xastir/share/xastir/maps"

User-specific info is still stored in your home directory in the
~/.xastir hierarchy.
