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

[Joseph LaFerla]

David

I placed the file on my onedrive cloud storage and the link to download it is 

Xastir 

Unfortunately the formatting of the file changes when I moved into the windows environment but hopefully you can switch it back.  Let me know if that does not work and I’ll see what else I can do.

Maybe I’ll be able to send it to you via email and then you can forward to the list.

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.

I replied and sent the output in an attachment, but maybe you cannot use attachments?  If not, please advise how to do it?  I could attach the output to the email but it will be long.

Please run "./configure" on your Xastir sources and email us the 
results.  We need to see what's getting enabled vs not enabled at 
compile time.

Hi

I have been experiencing problems displaying maps in Map Chooser and in the main xastir execution window.  I recently installed the latest version from source.  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:

pi at shrimp16_pi:/usr/local/share $ ls -l
total 32
drwxrwsr-x  2 root staff 4096 Sep  7 11:08 ca-certificates
drwxr-sr-x  3 root staff 4096 Nov  2 16:05 doc
drwxrwsr-x  3 root staff 4096 Sep  7 11:19 emacs
drwxrwsr-x  2 root staff 4096 Sep  7 11:20 fonts
drwxrwsr-x  3 root staff 4096 Nov  2 16:05 man
drwxrwsr-x  7 root staff 4096 Sep  7 11:06 sgml
drwxr-sr-x 11 root staff 4096 Nov  4 08:42 xastir
drwxrwsr-x  6 root staff 4096 Sep  7 11:08 xml

This permission structure also appears in my other Raspberry pi.  The staff permission apparently is used in Raspbian, Debian and OSX at least.

We were wondering if this could be the reason why the geo files do not show up in Map Chooser and how do I fix it so that I am able to view the maps?  Please ask for further clarification.
