Two possible problems, one is that you're starting up the old
version still.

The second is that you need to run "./bootstrap.sh" before
"configure" if you're updating from CVS.  That creates a brand-new
"configure" for you among other things, then "configure" builds
brand-new Makefiles for you.

To successfully run bootstrap.sh you'll need autoconf and automake
installed (developer tools, but not particularly large ones).

Thanks for the reply Curt.

As mentioned in my original message, with the second attempt, I did also perform 
the bootstrap, configure, and make routines.  I still ended up with a "newer" 
1.98 xastir executable. 


And that is the only xastir executable on the system under /usr/ .  I suspect 
that there is one under the ~xastir/src directories too, but I know that I am 
calling /usr/local/bin/xastir.  


Regarding the CVS update process.  I suspect that may be part of the problem.  I 
did not see any files being transferred. 

I am guessing that ~xastir/src/CVS/Entries is the log of what happened with the 
CVS update?  If it is, I can tell you that there are no entries newer than 22 
March 2010.  

The date of both  the ~xastir/src/CVS/Entries and  ~xastir/src/CVS/Entries.Log 
files is today, but no updated information inside.  I know that there have been 
significant updates since 1.98, so that is why I am puzzled.  


Or, have I assumed FAR too much.  MUST I do a complete re-install to move up to 
1.99?  I have assumed that a CVS update and re-compile would get me there. 


Thanks
