If you want to go with a binary, you can try the SuSE-10.0 binary I
just put out.  I'm still running OpenSuSE-10.0, so you won't find a
newer rpm from me yet.

There's also the LSB version.  You just need to add LSB support to
OpenSuSE first and then it should run.

If you want to install from sources, CVS or otherwise, I'd suggest
making sure you have Autoconf and Automake installed, then try
Xastir's "./configure" and have it tell you what's missing.
Remember that you don't need all the optional libraries to get up
and running.  Most of them are for additional map formats that you
may or may not need.

Oh yea, install libcurl and libcurl-devel as well as GraphicsMagick
or ImageMagick if you want internet maps.  Seems most people do
these days.

The INSTALL doc should have most info you'll need.
