OK, I think I have more to offer here. I did a little looking in the  
code. In "color.c" there is a line which reads:

> fprint(stderr, "Error! can not find color file: %s\n",  
> get_data_base_dir(temp));

This was the error to which I referred in my original post, which read:

> Error! can not find color file /xastir/config/xastir.rgb

That tells me that it is looking for a directory named xastir in the  
root for the hard drive. There is no such directory. It should be  
reading either /sw/share/xastir/config/xastir.rgb OR ~/.xastir/config/ 
xastir.rgb (does not exist on my system, but would make sense). In  
any case, for some reason the get_data_base_dir() function has the  
wrong path. I haven't traced this back (yet) but I am certain it is  
part of the problem.
