[Xastir] Broken II

[Chip G.]

This is an old thread to most of you, but it is near and dear to me.  
I've had this problem twice before. This time the resolution was  
simple. I just waited two months (busy work schedule) and recompiled  
again. Nothing was manually changed on my system. The only other  
thing which likely changed was my updating of pieces via Fink.

Anyway the happy story is that it is working again ... for now ...  :)
