Well, here I am on a little extra P3-800 machine running Xubuntu 7.10.  I
loaded the binary Xastir 1.90 from the Ubuntu repositories, and as I
suspected, it was not compiled with the Berkely database utilities, so no
map caching.  As I believe someone else brought up before, it's also
compiled with Lesstif, which results in a few text issues in some of the
menus.

You might want to try compiling from source.  There's a great howto for
Ubuntu 7.04 that should still apply to 7.10 in the Wiki.
