Tom - I run Fedora here at home, and have installations of both 32 and
64-bit versions - I haven't tried building Xastir on them recently,
but I can certainly try it, see what happens, and if it is really
necessary, I do have a way of giving you remote ssh capability to a
fedora box if it's necessary.

Let me know if you'd like me to do this.
