[Xastir] Fw: Compiling Xastir in a Raspberry Pi

[David Ranch]

Hello Max,

Your last attempt got through though I'm not quite sure why.  Seems most 
of Yahoo is getting blocked via various RBLs right now.  You might 
consider using an alternative providers like gmail, etc.

Anyway, when you ran that script last night, did you happen to see what 
the output of "./configure" showed?  The script installs the following 
dependencies:
--
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential automake cvs xorg-dev 
lesstif2-dev graphicsmagick gv libxp-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev shapelib 
libshp-dev tcl8.4 gpsman gpsmanshp libpcre3-dev libproj-dev libdb5.1-dev 
python-dev *libax25-dev* libgraphicsmagick1-dev festival festival-dev || 
exit 1
--

which does include the libax25-dev but if you don't have the standard 
libax25 (non-dev) libraries installed, I don't think it will function.  
If this script built proper .deb packages, it would have caught that 
dependency.  Anyway, see if libax25 is installed and if it's not, try 
installing it and then trying Xastir again. Btw, though not apart of the 
Debian repositories, the VE7FET / F6BVP AX.25 packages offer some 
significant bug fixes over the "official" ax.25 libraries which are 
rather old:

There are ARM ports available there as well which are up to date but it 
other x86 RPM / DEB packages are pretty old and need a compile via CVS 
sources.  If you're interested in that, I have that documented here at 
least for RPMs (this URL also goes into more details of the various 
AX.25 library differences, etc):
