Besides the dbfawk, pcre etc needing to be compiled in xastir, did  
you also apply the layer priority change to your ~/.xastir/config/ 
map_index.sys file?  That's the one where you use vi, and the 3 or 4  
line global change or the nice perl script previously shared with the  
list to that file.  The way you described the urban areas being  
covered up so the streets don't show indicates to me that the  
map_index.sys file has not been changed.  That *has* to be done  
*after* the first time xastir has been run and/or a reindex has been  
done as previously stated several times.
