[Xastir] Raspberry Pi

[Ray Wells]

Jav,

I have considered using other clients but I've been using xastir for so 
long and so successfully that I'm reluctant to change. However, if the 
packages conflict isn't resolved any time soon my patience timer may 
time out!

The stumbling block with xastir is dependency conflicts between libgeotiff2-dev and both imagemagick and graphicsmagick. I can have one or the other but not both. The conflict is well documented but, thus far, I have not found a solution.

For that last reason I have sent this enquiry here rather than directly to n1mjf who has already had xastir working on the RPi. Perhaps n1mjf would like to dip in and provide a bit of detail.
