This worked perfectly for me. For Mac OS X (10.4.7) the exact line was:

configure --with-bdb-incdir=/sw/include/db4 --with-bdb-libdir=/sw/lib

and voila, there it was! Thanks a ton for the help.

I noticed the recent compile installed the components in:

/usr/local/share/xastir

but from the previous version they were in:

/sw/share/xastir

The program seems to be using the old install info (as evidenced by  
the available maps). I seem to recall there is a way to tell it what  
directory to install the files when I configure so they are put  
correctly when I "make install". And now as I work through this I'm  
going to keep a file with notes so that I will know what commands, in  
what order, with what optional switches, are used ...

New topic:

One problem I seem to be having consistently though. Whenever I run  
Xastir, I get two instances. I am using Blackbox (rootless v0.65.0)  
on my Mac with XFree86 (v4.5.0). My Blackbox menu command looks like  
this:

[exec] (Xastir)  {xastir -geometry 1100x890}

This format works on my other programs just fine. I've tried tweaking  
some, but I get the dual clients each time. I can kill either one  
each time and no adverse effects are noted to the other. I just  
double-checked, and launching Xastir from the command line also  
creates two clients (even with no geometry reference).

Ideas?
