[Xastir] compile install xastir on ubuntu 11.04 -- what operator malfunction this time

[K8PET]

After years of running xastir on Mandriva, I moved to Ubuntu 11.04.


After compiling an chheckinstall,  running gave this:

Built-in map types:
      gnis   USGS GNIS Datapoints
       pop   USGS GNIS Datapoints w/population
       map   APRSdos Maps
       map   WinAPRS/MacAPRS/X-APRS Maps
       pdb   PocketAPRS Maps

Support for these additional map types has been compiled in:
       geo   Image Map (ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick library, many formats
allowed)
       geo   URL (Internet maps via libcurl library)
       geo   URL (OpenStreetMaps via libcurl library
                  Copyright OpenStreetMap and contributors, CC-BY-SA)
       shp   ESRI Shapefile Maps (Shapelib library)
       xpm   X Pixmap Maps (XPM library)
festival_client: connect to server failed
SayText: Couldn't open socket to Festival
XReadBitmapFile() failed: Bitmap not found?
/usr/share/xastir/symbols/2x2.xbm


since the file is there I thought it might be permissions-related, so I
tested with:

k8pet at gtway-usb:~$ sudo xastir

which has different issues.

All suggestions will be appreciated!
