History of this page shows edits in 2006, then one in 2007.  Not at all
current.  Especially for Debian Squeeze.

I've logged a bug in Debian requesting packaging of the 1.9.6 version,
#551578.  I've also worked further to reduce the build sequence on
Debian Lenny, the stable version:

1.  add source lines to /etc/apt/sources.list if not yet present,
followed by an "aptitude update",

2.  obtain the build dependencies known for the older version of Xastir,
"apt-get build-dep xastir", resulting in an 82.4Mb download, 256Mb
change in disk usage,

3.  download the 1.9.6 source tar.gz and unpack,

4.  run the configure like this,

    CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/geotiff ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man

5.  compile like this,

    make

6.  be root and install,

    make install
