It's possible that the GM you're using was configured using

 "--with-quantum-depth=8"

(the default for GM), whereas Xastir needs

 "--with-quantum-depth=16"

If you remove the GM-devel package and install the IM and IM-devel
packages, configure/make/make install Xastir, it should switch over
to using IM instead of GM.  Hopefully that'll work for you.

OK Save your fingers.
After a lot of searching I found some suggestions and switched to 
Imagemagick and all is well .

I had this problem with no online maps loading and tried Xastir 1.9.4 
and now I don't have that problem, however if I load the Canada 250k 
topo maps I see them downloading but my map screen turns black and has 
only the map grid showing, other online maps are fine. I have Graphics 
Magick installed, would ImageMagick make the difference? I also am using 
the built in Shapelib. I use PCLinuxOS, everything else works fine.

  Yes.  The bug reporter on launchpad said that recompiling from source 
fixed it.
   I tried recompiling from the ubuntu source, and it failed with a bunch 
of undefined variables.  So then I tried pulling down the current 'stable' 
tarball and compiling that.  I got the same undefined variables errors.
   I sent a report to this list yesterday, but it never came thru.  Does 
this list have a size restriction?  My email was 17k with the attached 
config.log...

Most likely the path to them was different on the system the binary
was compiled on, or they weren't on that system at all and therefore
the binary has no support for them.
