Re: [Xastir] New Installation Notes / HowTo for Ubuntu 8.10 & 8.04
I second that. The correct dev package is indeed libmagick9-dev, and that's what's documented in the installation notes for Ubuntu 6.10/7.04 and 8.04/8.10 - nothing has changed there in several Ubuntu releases.

Good point, Steve. Yes, I had tunnel vision thinking GraphicsMagick had been installed for Xastir's use, but if it was already installed prior attempts to install Xastir, then only the dev portion should be removed ' cuz you never know what else might be dependent on it.

I've found the dev package for imagemagick and installed it twice in two separate virtual machines via Synaptic in Xubuntu 8.10. The name of the package is libmagick9-dev.

Don't remove all of graphicsMagick, just the Devel file. Otherwise you will break things. Removing the GraphicksMagick-devel will keep the configure from seeing it. Now you can install Imagemagick and the Imagemagick-devel file to go with it, and everything will be good.

Re: [Xastir] New Installation Notes / HowTo for Ubuntu 8.10 & 8.04
Based on some earlier posts, it sounds like there are some issues with GraphicsMagick, so yes, I recommend removing GraphicMagick via Synaptic and installing Imagemagick. See http://xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:Ubuntu_8.10 for a list of packages that includes Imagemagick to install via Synaptic. I would install them prior to executing the configure, make and make install portions of the commands Rick gave you below.

The path to wget is compiled into Xastir if support for wget is included at configure time. On my OpenSuSE-11 system it's at /usr/bin/wget". Libcurl is a library, so same for it, except that the library must be found instead of the executable. See if you have something like "libcurl.so.4" in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib directories. Also see if the directory you found it in is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf. If not, add the directory there and run "ldconfig" as root. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.

I have had so many attempts I may well have done it both ways ;-) But latterly I did the from source via ./get-maptools.sh part of the howto. Re map issue in earlier post it looks like a hiccup in the inf to geo conversion such that an east longitude gained a minus sign fortunately the map was sufficiently wide for to to show squashed rather than not at all.

Ok, that's what had me confused about the map_tif.c error. I thought that you and Roger while getting that error had reported following the older Ubuntu HowTo, which installs geotiff from source - so I didn't realize that it had been installed from the repo. > However, when I first launched xastir, it barfed on a missing file: > > XReadBitmapFile() failed: Bitmap not found? > /usr/share/xastir/symbols/2x2.xbm > > ...thinking this may be a similar issue, I browsed until I found the file > in /usr/local/share/... > I then deleted the .xastir directory under my home directory, so that > xastir would build a new one upon launch.

Yes, I have very little experience with installing/uninstalling Xastir binaries. I think I did it once when I first tried the program something like 18 months ago. It appears that removing the .xastir directory from the home directory is also a cure for other negatives that can happen after making signficant changes, so I don't see a problem with advising people to do that in the wiki when changing from a binary version to one compiled from source. > 2) I don't want to start a pissing contest, but why the talk about > 'non-standard' locations for library and application installs?

I'm already a proponent of modifying the configure script to look in /usr/include/geotiff simply because this issue affects Debian and all of its descendants (including Ubuntu), which ought to be considered widespread enough to justify it. The last time I used SUSE, there was no issue - the binary geotiff package(s) from the repo installed the headers in the expected location. I can't speak for Fedora - was not aware of an issue with Fedora, but there are plenty of Fedora users on this list, so we should be able to get clarification on that. All of that said, if a library like geotiff is installed from source with headers in /usr/include, then I would think anyone creating a binary package should design it to do the same or else they are asking for problems. Therefore I do understand why the Xastir developers are reluctant to modify the configure script. > ...and finally, I have a question that is more Debian/ubuntu related than > xastir per se.

Sure enough, it worked! Good reminder. Having renamed the .xastir file I can now load the 2 UK maps that I tried.

I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, yet give me a more up-to-date install than the distribution package. I opted to compile from the latest stable tarball, using the distribution libraries if at all possible to minimize breakage in other applications. I was getting 'undeclared variable' errors in map_tif.c during the make, and posting the error here elicited no responses, but your comment about Ubuntu's 'non-standard' installation of the geotiff library, and the configure workaround got me past that one. However, when I first launched xastir, it barfed on a missing file: XReadBitmapFile() failed: Bitmap not found? /usr/share/xastir/symbols/2x2.xbm ...thinking this may be a similar issue, I browsed until I found the file in /usr/local/share/... I then deleted the .xastir directory under my home directory, so that xastir would build a new one upon launch. Sure enough, it worked!

It would seem to me that it should configure for its actual location, or report it as not found. ...and finally, I have a question that is more Debian/ubuntu related than xastir per se. Somewhere, I heard mention of a script that would build a simple 'package' from a tarball-compiled application, so that the apt database can be aware of the files that were installed. Would it be possible to add a target to the makefile like 'make debinstall' that would invoke such a script and perform the install in a way that would minimize potential future adverse interactions with distribution package installs and upgrades. -- Rick Green, N8BJX "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Benjamin Franklin ___ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Here's a snippet from one of Tom's messages on this issue. "Try turning off "visual effects" --- there's an issue with those and Motif. "Visual Effects" (Compiz) are the eye-candy like animated window zooming, fading screens and 3D stuff that went from being default-off options called "Desktop Effects" in 7.10 to default-on called "Visual Effects" in 8.04." Since I am using Xubuntu, I would not have this problem. I don't know if they are still called visual effects in 8.10.

Still can not select maps. In fact I can't even clear the Worldhi map. One thing I have noticed is that I have GCC 4.4, 4.2 and 4.1 all installed. could this be a problem? I was about to remove the higher versions but got a lot of others listed to go as well so left it as is for now. 73 Roger ___ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Still got the moans from the make but it completed aand so did the install. Still don't seem to be able to get to 2 ui-vies maps that were converted using the inf to geo script to display. But no moans in the terminal window so I may not be setting something correctly. Will try the Full fat build now. 73 Roger G6CKR ___ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
