[Xastir] still trying to install on Fedora 9

[Eric Christensen]

John,
I just filed another trouble ticket [1] in Red Hat's Bugzilla for the 
latest Xastir package.  The person that built the last package said he 
had the mapping problem fixed.  I just installed it and it fails. 
Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

The package management is quite different in Fedora 9, and there is no Applications>Add/Remove Software option.  Instead we have System>Administration>Add/Remove packages but you have to specify individual packages, not "development tools:.  Below does not exist:
