Tom, Lee, and all,
Regarding my installation issue with packages from earlier messages:
I was able to successfully install Xastir. You were correct, not all
packages were installed correctly.
I found if I tried to install multiple packages at the same time, as part
of the same command, not all packages actually were installed, or failed to
install.
When I installed packages one at a time, running separate commands, they
installed successfully.
Example:
sudo apt-get install git autoconf automake xorg-dev graphicsmagick gv
libmotif-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
Rather I installed each one at a time:
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install automake
etc...
Once I did this, everything worked as expected. I also replicated this on
my Pi3B. Not sure if it was typographical error, or something else
Thank you all for your help. I appreciate the support. Now I can get to
work on a 9600 baud node!
