[Xastir] I've broken my Xastir install :-(

[Ray Wells]

Ian,

I run a compiled, older version of xastir on 8.04 on my laptop. There 
are some installation differences between 8.04 and 10.04 so my 
recommendation is you hunt up the 8.04/8.10 howto and check for missing 
dev files. FWIW I use imagemagick.

My latest installation is from cvs and is on Mint 9 (based on Ubuntu 
10.04, but much friendlier and much more user ready). I've installed 
from cvs to Mint 9 on both the laptop and the desktop computers.
