[Xastir] Map Chooser and map display question on Raspberry Pi

[David A Aitcheson]

Joe,

You could put those long files up on your web server site and send us
the link to them in a post to the reflector. My thinking would be to
make a Xastir directory under your ham radio directory on the website
but leave the rest of the website as it is; unless you want to do some
updates to it at the same time. Then those that want to look at your
configure file can do so with ease.

What happens is that my maps do not show up in the xastir window – I have only a blank screen.  In Map Chooser I have the Online directory and the two subdirectories but the geo files below that do not show up. Speaking with David Aitcheson, we noted that directories in the /usr/local tree have different permissions than the standard.  This is a dump of the directory /usr/local/share:
