Except that I did a prefix command during the configure, and it is  
at /sw/share/xastir/config/xastir.rgb (where I believe it should be  
for my configuration). Part of my question is why it appears to want  
it at /xastir/config/xastir.rgb.

Well, there's a reason for that. It don't work without the sudos. I  
don't remember all the specific details at this point, but I've  
repeatedly tried to do builds without sudo and it just plain don't  
work. I don't know if it's a Mac OS (FreeBSD) specific thing or not,  
but it just don't work. Perhaps if I had one of you master geeks  
available sometime to sit beside me and run through this and see what  
I see. My user account has all the super privileges it needs, the  
directories I'm building from I own. I've just given up and this  
works, and I have yet to find a real down side (although all the  
senior geeks keep telling me it's bad mojo).
