I am running Debian Lenny on that one. Xastir was originally installed from CVS, so I figured this should be a no brainer Both README.CVS and Notes:CVS had me believing that I should just be able to cvs update and su, then make install, and I should be at 1.99 . Well, that did not work so well. I still had 1.98 . So then I took a look at the Debian Lenny HowTo, and decided that I should do the full routine with the bootstrap, configure, and make steps too.

Ha. ;-) Xastir itself is over 100,000 lines of C-code (that's not counting comments or white-space). It compiles/runs on a wide variation of operating systems. Right now with the technology used for the build system in Xastir, what you just did is about as simple as it gets. People worked hard on those scripts to make them work for most situations. Without the bootstrap.sh and configure scripts you'd have had to hand-edit the Makefiles throughout the tree structure for your system, and I can guarantee you wouldn't have like that! hi hi BTW: The configure;make;make install invocation is pretty much what you'll expect of most open-source apps out there if you install from sources. Once you've been around Linux/Unix for a while and have installed things from the bleeding edge sources, you'll get quite used to it. Glad you got it going, and the Festival/Festival-devel install, then configure;make;make install for Xastir shouldn't take long. Festival must be running daemon mode by the way, before Xastir. Since you got it running before there shouldn't be any difficulties with that part the next time around. -- Curt, WE7U. http://www.eskimo.com/~archer APRS: Where it's at!http://www.xastir.org Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.

Those two command get the system ready for make...if that works then follow that by sudo make install So the sequence should look a little like this: cvs update output of that command ./bootstrap should get 5 or 6 lines ./configure should get a lot of output followed by a chart of yes and no's make compiles the program sudo make install will prompt for root password and install things... This password (on most *nix operating systems) is the _users_ password. Not the root password.

I might just leave it I'm just on linux because of Xastir so much code to just get something simple to run. Sorry to bring this up so late, but reading that you are using Linux Mint, and assuming it's the latest version, which based on Ubuntu 10.04, there are easier ways to install a newer version of Xastir. 1) Install the updated binary, which is documented at http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:Ubuntu_10.04-binary (I wouldn't bother with this now that you have compiled and installed the latest from source) 2) Use the build script as detailed in the Installation Notes for Ubuntu 10.04 at http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:Ubuntu_10.04 On #2 above, the script downloads Xastir from CVS, installs dependencies, and does the boostrap, configure, make, and make install steps automatically. Removing the older binary Xastir can be done by the command 'sudo apt-get remove xastir' at the command line.
