> OS is Mepis   No updates lately.

Haven't played with that variant so don't know if it auto-updates in the
background or not.

>I typed curl (return) and it wants more info and directs me to check the
help file, same with wget.

That means to me that both programs are there and that the shell found them.
So an instance of Xastir launched from the same shell should find them also.

>Rehash does nothing, command not found.

That just means you are using one of the less common variations of shells.
Most bash/tcsh type shells implement some sort of rehash command to rebuild
the list of known commands.

Moving up the list of drastic actions, I'd try logging out of the X session
and then logging back in.  And if you are going to do that and/or are
considering a reboot then you might as well see what updates are available
and install them while you are at it.

You may also want to launch a web browser or other web based application and
make sure that you can browse the Internet.  Even if email is working it is
possible that http type applications aren't working and that Xastir is
interpreting a failure by curl or wget as "program not found".
