It looks to me like you didn't get the ImageMagick support compiled
in.

That doesn't explain the bus error during or after map indexing
though.  You can try editing ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf to change
this line:

    MAPS_INDEX_ON_STARTUP:1
to
    MAPS_INDEX_ON_STARTUP:0

which will keep Xastir from indexing on startup.  That should
tell you whether the bus error is happening on indexing or later on.

You can also start Xastir like this:

    xastir -v 4095 | tee debug.log &

To see the last debug messages that get printed before it crashes.
It'll also create a "debug.log" file that you can look at later.

You're obviously on a Mac since you're using "/sw".  Any of you Mac
users out there run into this?
