[Xastir] topo maps

[Rob Neece]

Yes.  As I have recently discovered the versions in the repos are quite 
old and often not built with all the necessary or desirable support 
programs and libraries.  The folks on this reflector just carried me 
through a build from source and the result was excellent.  Although you 
are using Mint, there are how tos for several distributions, and your 
should not be so different from some of the others.  Also, as I 
discovered later, there is an install readme on the subject that is 
pretty thorough.  Look at the xaster wiki site.

Here is a link to the how to that I used on the wiki:
