[Xastir] More Kubuntu 13 map problems

[Jim Shorney]

Thanks for the reply, Curt.

Help>About says I have GM 1.3.16. Interestingly, the package manager says I
have 1.3.18 (or, 1.3.18-Q16-2dhor-raring in Debian-speak). The -dev package
matches in the package manager and is installed. The only IM stuff installed
was imagemagick-common. It has now been purged.

It would be my luck that mine would be contrary to everone else and I need to
dump GM and install IM. Whatever. I'll poke around and see if I can figure out
where GM is version confused.

Berkeley is 5.1.29-5ubuntu8, if anyone is interested. No errors there that I
can see.
