Hello Tom,

Thanks so much for the reply..  Please see inline..

Ok, that's probably not good.  I've posted the output of building Xastir 
here:



Looking around trying to troubleshoot the "Xpm" issue,

I think I have all of the required dependencies installed and there *is* 
a similar file on the file system.  Maybe this "P" file is a newer 
version than the "I"?   If not, any ideas what package might install it?

rpm -ql openmotif-devel | grep -i Xpm
/usr/include/Xm/XpmP.h

Good to know.  I won't worry about that one

Guess I'll have to update those comments to be unique per section and 
try again.

Nope.. mapnik doesn't work.

It doesn't even resolve.. where do these hostnames come from?  Is there 
a master tile server that Xastir queries or are these hostnames 
hardcoded into the Xastir source code?
