What version of XQuartz are you running (http:// 
xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki)? Do you have lesstif or some other  
OpenMotif installed (I prefer lesstif as I've had fewer problems with  
it)? See below for my variant of the directions for installation.

Installing Xastir on a Mac: (use in concert with the INSTALL doc file  
which has more detail I don't wish to reproduce here)
	by Chip (N1MIE) n1mie at arrl.net

  1. Install a Motif package (openmotif or lesstif can be installed  
via Fink) [I found openmotif caused problems on my system (odd menu  
issues), so I removed and installed lesstif which worked great. You  
may also need to try it both ways.]

  2. Ensure an entry similar to the below is in your '.bashrc' or  
'.bash_profile' file:
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib

*3. Install libproj (can be installed as 'proj' via Fink)
	Install/update libtiff (can be installed via Fink)
	Install libgeotiff
		download and uncompress file (http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/ 
geotiff.html)
		"./configure" or "./configure --prefix=/sw" (second places files  
same place as Fink)
		"sudo make"
		"sudo make install"

*4. Install ShapeLib
		download and uncompress file (http://shapelib.maptools.org)
		"cc -c shpopen.c"
		"cc -c shptree.c"
		"cc -c dbfopen.c"
		"ar cru libshp.a shpopen.o shptree.o dbfopen.o"
		"sudo cp libshp.a /sw/lib"
		"sudo ranlib /sw/lib/libshp.a"
		"sudo mkdir /sw/include/libshp"
		"sudo cp shapefil.h /sw/include/libshp/"

*5. Install ImageMagick (can be installed via Fink) [I had problems  
when I used a pre-6.2 version]
	or install GraphicsMagick (download from site and follow Mac OS X  
instructions found in PLATFORM.txt) -- there is a mistake in this  
file it says to issue a command "ln -s sw /sw" but it should read "ln  
-s /sw sw", the make will not work until this link is made

*6. Install wget or curl (normally already present on OS X Macs)

*7. Install gpsman and gpsmanshp (I haven't tried this) [Not  
available via Fink]

*8. Install Festival (I haven't tried this)

*9. Install GDAL (can be installed via Fink, must be done manually on  
Intel Macs unless you enable Fink unstable tree)
		download and uncompress file (http://remotesensing.org/gdal/)
		"./configure --prefix=/sw --with-local=/sw/lib --with-gif=internal  
--with-jpeg=internal" (may need to modify if you don't use Fink)
		"sudo make"
		"sudo make install"

*10. Install Berkeley DataBase (can be installed via Fink)

  11. Build Xastir (commands need to be executed from within  
directory where Xastir source resides)
  		"./bootstrap.sh"
  		"./configure --with-bdb-libdir=/sw/lib --with-bdb-incdir=/sw/ 
include/db4"
  			or "./configure --with-bdb-libdir=/sw/lib --with-bdb-incdir=/sw/ 
include/db4 --prefix=/sw" (latter for use with Fink)
  			You can type "./configure --help" to get a list of all options.  
Two other good options are "--with-rtree" and "--with-profiling".
