Tom & Curt: that was the problem... I hadn't included /usr/local/lib in
the ld.so.conf file.  Once added, Xastir fired up just wonderful!

Tnx for the help with that.  My experience w/ Linux isn't the best, but
with the great patience of others, I'm getting there!

And since I've got the shape libraries already loaded, and Xastir
running... I don't want to mess with anything else right now...

My thanks to Tom and Curt for their helpful comments.  I'll keep you all
posted if I run into anything else that I can't figure out!
