   I finally got around to updating this evening, and I see the .osm and 
.geo files in /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/Online, but they don't show up 
in the map chooser, even after doing a 'reindex all maps'.
   In the terminal window from which I launched xastir, there appeared many 
messages telling me the ridge radar .geo files were skipped due to a 
missing IMAGESIZE parameter, followed by a question: Perhaps no 
Imagemagic/Graphicsmagic is installed?  My scroll buffer doesn't go back 
far enough to see if there were any OSM maps rejected for the same reason.
Is that a possibility?

This is on a very old Kubuntu system. ISTR something about non-standard 
library locations, and an alias or link that needs to be created.  The 
.configure script found imagemagik was indeed present.
