If all you really need is receive-only, then a very early test version might
interest you:
http://ham.zmailer.org/oh2mqk/aprsazel/aprsg-ng-v0.02.tar.gz
It is very small ANSI-C program (or perhaps C90 standard), which on Linux
system can also receive packets from local AX.25 network (apparently).
Will relay everything (sans couple simple rules) to configured APRS-IS
server.
It does not use _any_ external libraries aside of glibc on Linux.
It runs at _any_ POSIX system with serial port(s)[*] and IP network stack.
At Linux it will listen on internal AX.25 network if such is available.
*) I use USB serial port cable to my KISS TNC.
It is so early a beast that I got it running for the most part a week ago,
and now it has been doing my local Rx -> KISSTNC -> Rx-i-gate -> APRS-IS
processing. At the moment the TNC must be talking plain basic KISS.
The TODO -file has many important things, like usage manual...
You may rightly wonder, why no threads, widget-libraries, C++ ?
I wanted to show that even "old" methodologies can be used for successfull
and especially lightweight end result. One which can be placed on very
small and low-power gadget computer drinking up from 48V batteries at a ham
site. Rack-PC:s with spinning disks don't survive Finnish winters..
Fanless small machines may survive.
Like this one:

That one is actually a bit on the hefty side of things, but has read-only
mounted flash disk, and 128 MB RAM. It runs OH2RDY APRS GW.
The radio of OH2RAY + TNC are on the low edge of this photo:
http://ham.zmailer.org/gallery2/v/oh2mqk/2007/06/16-a/img_0312.jpg.html
rest is OH2RAY repeater (70 cm band), and common 24V/14V DC supplies.
