[Xastir] Ubuntu 9.04 howto now on Xastir wiki

[David]

Hi Kevin.....very good How -to....however you have missed the Geotiff libs
these libs in Ubuntu 9.04 repositories dont work too well...
get the libtiff4 and libtiff4-dev from the repos then d/l 
libgeotiff-1.2.4 or 1.2.5 whichever you like.....
unpack the tarball then configure with ./configure --with-ld-shared="gcc 
-shared|"..this is important as mentioned in the Ubuntu 8.10 install 
instructions....next make and make install.....
i have found that if you use GraphicsMagick it wont work with some 
maps......ImageMagick is no problem.....in the 8.10 instructions 
libmagick9-dev is mentioned....this has now been replaced with ive 
libmagickwand-dev

ive installed Xastir on 9.04 a few times of late as ive crashed h/d's 
with doing other things....i usually leave gdal and festival out as i 
find i dont need them  here.....ive used local maps from our club 
website....they were in Ui-View format..i used inf2geo from the scripts 
dir to get them to Xastir use.....we also have our own NWS alerts for VK 
and i use the Xastir files for them

any other info needed just yell....
