I checked the /usr/ and there is nothing here excepted brew from previous attempt. But i have /opt/ folder in which /local/bin/xastir & /local/share/xastir reside: i guess it might be the reason why the maps are not showing and some others littles mismatch. Is-it important to get the above in /usr/ instead of /opt/ and does there is way to move them if needed?


/usr/local/ is the default location for building and installing xastir
binaries and support files.

For whatever reason the folks who make Mac build tools (fink,
macports, etc) choose to put things in nonstandard (or at least
nondefault) locations.  The folks who put your package together used
/opt/local instead of /usr/local. the documentation on the wiki
assumes a standard build location of /usr/local.  This means you
probably need to substitute /opt/local anywhere you read /usr/local.
