[Xastir] Xastir compile options

[Stephen Brown Jr]

Managed to get everything installed minus GPSman support(which I don't need
right now anyhow) and for some reason now I am getting this error upon
startup:

sbrown at onyxia:~/xastir$ xastir &
[1] 28108
xastir: error while loading shared libraries: libgeotiff.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

I looked to see if the file was indeed there:
sbrown at onyxia:~/xastir$ slocate libgeotiff.so
/home/sbrown/libgeotiff-1.2.3/libgeotiff.so.1.2.3
/home/sbrown/libgeotiff-1.2.3/libgeotiff.so
/usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.so.1.2.3
/usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.so.1.2
/usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.so
[1]+  Exit 127                xastir
sbrown at onyxia:~/xastir$

Looks like /usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.so should be the target? I also checked
the permissions, this appears to be a symlink:

sbrown at onyxia:~/xastir$ ls -al /usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 25 18:12 /usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.so ->
libgeotiff.so.1

Not sure if that should be linked back to libgeotiff.so.1 or not?
