Hello Denton,

Since no one knowledgeable has answered yet, I'll give it a quick
answer. My 2x2.xbm file is locate in these two folders:

[fred at athbox ~]$ locate 2x2.xbm
/home/fred/xastir/symbols/2x2.xbm
/usr/local/share/xastir/symbols/2x2.xbm

Have you tried the 'locate' command to see is you have a copy anywhere
else that you could copy to the folder mentioned in your error report?
Maybe it got corrupt or deleted by mistake?. I am using the current cvs
version of Xastir on Fedora 9.
