That last checks the stand-alone "curl", but doesn't check whether
Xastir is compiled with and using libcurl.

Does Xastir's Help->About say "libcurl" on the "Libraries used:"
line?

If not, did you install "libcurl-devel" or similar package before
you compiled Xastir, or just "libcurl".

Xastir will use "wget" to fetch maps if libcurl/libcurl-devel are
not present when you configure/compile Xastir.
