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:
