Not yet.  Jerry is considering that for the "tiles" version of OSM
that he's working on.  Tiles would be the right way to do the

That's an X11 XLIB layer error, saying that it's missing something
that it needs.  Did you do an OS update at the same time?  Perhaps
there are some X11 libraries you need to add for VNC support?

Did you do a "make install" or are you running Xastir from where
you compiled it?  It's not finding the 2x2.xbm in the normal install
location.
