Keith,

The last configure output you posted a week ago looked like this...

  xastir 1.9.5 has been configured to use the following
  options and external libraries:

  MINIMUM OPTIONS:
   ShapeLib (Vector maps) ................. : yes

  RECOMMENDED OPTIONS:
  -n   GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick (Raster maps) :
  no
   pcre (Shapefile customization) ......... : no
   dbfawk (Shapefile customization) ....... : no
   rtree indexing (Shapefile speedups) .... : yes
   map caching (Raster map speedups) ...... : no
   internet map retrieval ................. : yes (libcurl)

  FOR THE ADVENTUROUS:
   AX25 (Linux Kernel I/O Drivers) ........ : no
   libproj (USGS Topos & Aerial Photos) ... : no
   GeoTiff (USGS Topos & Aerial Photos) ... : no
   Festival (Text-to-speech) .............. : no
   GDAL/OGR (Obtuse map formats) .......... : no
   GPSMan/gpsmanshp (GPS downloads) ....... : no

There were some later messages that implied that GraphicsMagick was
fixed, which got your online maps working.  I suspect Tom is right
that dbfawk is not compiled in.
