Hi Roger and list readers,

Fyi, I tried compiling Xastir 1.95 from CVS on a clean install of
Xubuntu 8.10, and there were no problems.  With respect to package
names, the only difference between the 8.10 and 6.10 as documented in
http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:Ubuntu_6.10 was the
libdb4.7-dev package that needs to be installed instead of
libdb4.4-dev.

Regarding the small difference between Ubuntu 6.10 and 7.04 in the
wiki, I followed the 6.10 procedure, which installs automake1.9 and
libxp-dev instead of automake and x11proto-print-dev.  I found that
there is no need to install autoconf in Intrepid/8.10 as it is
installed as a dependency when automake1.9 is installed.  Also,
X11proto-print-dev is installed as a dependency when libxp-dev is
installed, which I assume was the case with Ubuntu 6.10 as well.

Fyi, I also installed the geotiff packages from the ubuntu repository
instead of using the get-maptools script.  Knowing from recent
experience with other Debian based distros that the header files get
installed in /usr/include/geotiff, I copied them into /usr/include
before compiling Xastir, and it seems happy with that.
