[Xastir] Running Xastir

[Keith Kaiser]

Xastir on my Mac gets installed into /usr/local/bin.

Then "Generic Event Extension missing" may mean nothing but either way  
I still can't launch Xastir. I get this "Error: Unresolved inheritance  
operation" I'm afraid I don't know unix well enough to know what that  
means let alone how to fix it.
