Umm ... there is no CPPFLAGS line in my Makefile or Makefile.in or  
Makefile.am ... not even after I run ./configure with all my options  
(sudo ./configure --with-bdb-libdir=/sw/lib --with-bdb-incdir=/sw/ 
include/db4 --prefix=/sw --with-rtree). On my other computer with a  
recent successful compile I have this line in the "Makefile":

CPPFLAGS = -I/sw/include -I/opt/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/ 
usr/X11R6/include -I/sw/include/db4 -DXASTIR_DATA_BASE=\"$ 
{datarootdir}/xastir\"

So I know what I should find. Both computers have been updated to  
CVS. How can the Makefile be wrong? How do I fix it?

I appear to be missing the whole darn line!!!

Not nearly as much as I do. My Xastir has been offline ever since. I  
have no way to get it back until I figure this out.
