Hi Gang,

Making progress, but tripping up with my messages. Someday I'll get used 
to the Xastir email reply protocol, and quit responding to senders, when 
I intend to reply to the list.

Anyway:

For the most part yes, other than Firefox, and Thunderbird, this is my 
virgin box.

Roger that, I did some Googling, and found this:

I followed those instructions, which resulted in Synaptic downloading 30 
packages, it was an 11mb download, and used 33mb of disk space.

I documented most of the packages that were downloaded, except for what 
might have come with cvs, and gcc, which I already had on board.

The compile and install seemed to go ok, but here is what I see when I 
try and run Xastir:

darryl at Chatto:~$ xastir
Found pid file: /home/darryl/.xastir/xastir.pid
Other Xastir process, pid: 18209 does not appear be running.


Built-in map types:
       gnis   USGS GNIS Datapoints
        map   APRSdos Maps
        map   WinAPRS/MacAPRS/X-APRS Maps
        pdb   PocketAPRS Maps

Support for these additional map types has been compiled in:
        geo   Image Map (ImageMagick library, many formats allowed)
        geo   URL (Internet maps via libcurl library)
        shp   ESRI Shapefile Maps (Shapelib library)

/usr/share/xastir/symbols/2x2.xbm
darryl at Chatto:~$

The 2x2.xbm file isn't where Xastir is looking for it:

darryl at Chatto:~$ locate 2x2.xbm
/home/darryl/xastir/symbols/2x2.xbm
/usr/local/share/xastir/symbols/2x2.xbm
darryl at Chatto:~$

I created the directory and file Xastir is looking for, with the 
intention of linking it to one of the existing files, but I wasn't sure 
which file to link to, so I aborted that idea.

Ideas?
