Which means you didn't remove the old package so you have two
Xastir's on your system.

Sorry, I can't help you with shortcuts as that's not my thing.  Read
the Mint docs and they should tell you how to do it.  I'm sure it's
an easy thing to do once you find the right sentence that tells you
how.

Zoom in.  You should get more labels as you zoom in.

Festival and Festival-devel.  Another of those "no" settings from
configure that needs to be changed to a yes, then make/make install
again after that.  Festival also needs to be running before you
start that newly-compiled Xastir.
