[Xastir] GDAL, db42, etc (Mac & Leopard)

[Chip Griffin]

I was not able to get GDAL (1.4.3) to compile. I tried with just "./ 
configure" and got an error when I tried to 'make' it. So, per the  
INSTALL file, I tried several of the switches mentioned. I added the  
'internal' options one at a time, and still wasn't able to get it to  
compile even after they were all added. This is the error at the end  
of the make when the exact "./configure" with switches is used from  
the INSTALL file.

When I run Xastir I am getting a lot of messages that look like this:

> Warning:
> 	Name: create_appshell text_output
> 	Class: XmTextField
> 	Character '\61' not supported in font.  Discarded.

I was not seeing these in my previous installation. I'm not sure it's  
a problem, but I'd prefer to get rid of the warnings if I could. They  
might mask some other problem.


I finally got db42 working. The problem was in my ./configure line.  
Some of you may recall that I build Xastir using a script. My script  
had been modified for my use of MacPorts (another package manager for  
Macs). This is the only machine that was using that manager, all my  
other machines are using Fink. When I'd upgraded to Leopard I'd  
abandoned MacPorts in order to eliminate another possible problem and  
to stick with what I knew best as I worked through the issues. I'd  
forgotten that the libdb and libinclude directories were specified in  
the configure process. That fixed, I have caching again.
