Re: [Xastir] Quirks compiling Xastir on Centos6
Hello Curt, It could be a bad package for IM, or it could be an IM package that had some compile-time parameters set that aren't compatible with Xastir. For those kinds of cases I just install GM. If problems with GM, I try IM. Yeah.. I haven't tried GM yet but the older version of IM seems to be working well. Is GM really that much faster, better, etc. than IM? Reloading previous data (maybe with a faster decay algorithm) is something I was looking for. Does anyone else on the list know if this code (say with the MySQL backend) is working? Is there documentation on how to configure Xastir to use the proper DB, credentials, etc? You'd have to do searches back through the Xastir or Xastir-Dev mailing lists to find out.

Howdy Everyone, Success! See below.. There are a lot of other options available in the help for configure but I don't know if those options are being enabled by default or not - Is GraphicsMagick recommended over ImageMagick? Generally yes, unless IM works better on your system. Usually GM works better and is more stable long-term. As a test, I uninstalled the 64bit ImageMagick v6.7.6 RPM I downloaded directly from the ImageMagick website and went for the older Centos provided ImageMagick-6.5.4. Once I installed that, the Oosm_tiled_mapnik map came right up! Woohoo!

I also noticed that "Davis WX" is not enabled by default (it's also not in the same section with all the other features) I would only enable that in the case where someone was actually using a Davis WX station. Same for LaCrosse. Most people don't have such equipment and/or don't set up all the other stuff needed to use them with Xastir. Fair enough though I'd argue that it's placement in the ./configure --help section should be lower to be put with the other options.

You can live without geotiff support, but if you want it you have to have both libproj and libgeotiff (and associated development headers) installed, and libgeotiff must be built to use libproj. I am not sure that the Centos build of proj and libgeotiff are actually usable in Xastir (there are details which can interfere) --- Centos, if I am not mistaken, is very similar to Fedora and may use the same package repository. Fedora's libproj and libgeotiff have issues, and the installation notes for Fedora on the Xastir wiki recommend not using the packaged versions of these, preferring instead a source code build. See the Installation Notes section of the Xastir wiki under Fedora 15 for details. If you don't want to go through the trouble, what you give up is USGS topo maps and any other maps provided in GeoTIFF format (none of the on-line maps require this). > I've posted the output of building Xastir > here: > > > > Looking around trying to troubleshoot the "Xpm" issue, > -- > checking X11/xpm.h usability... yes > checking X11/xpm.h presence... yes > checking for X11/xpm.h... yes > checking for library containing XpmWriteFileFromPixmap... -lXpm > checking Xm/XpmI.h usability... no > checking Xm/XpmI.h presence... no > checking for Xm/XpmI.h... no The absense of XpmI.h is not a problem.

GDAL support in Xastir doesn't actually exist, and only a small number of obsolete map formats (notably raw TIGER/Line files) were every really implemented in OGR support. > -- > > 2.

Unfortunately, the error message doesn't say which one, but grepping through the source code shows a similar error message in the handlers for OSM, WMS, geo and tiger map formats. See if OSM_tiled_mapnik works for you. If so, then it is likely there is something up with the OSM server you've selected. Lots of the other errors you're posting below imply that is the source of some of these issues. > -- > When I try to load the OSM_tiled_osmarender map > -- > > Download error for tile: http://tah.openstreetmap.org/Tiles/tile/8/39/98.png > curl told us 6 Look suspiciously like there's a problem with the osmarender server. > > -- > When I try to load the OSM_tiled_skiiing map > -- > xastir: improper image header `/root/.xastir/OSMtiles/skiing/8/39/98.png' @ > error/png.c/ReadPNGImage/3651. > Removing /root/.xastir/OSMtiles/skiing/8/39/98.png I'm guessing the server is returning an HTML error page instead of a PNG file, and Xastir is objecting. -- Tom RussoKM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?

[Xastir] Quirks compiling Xastir on Centos6
Hello Everyone, I just updated my docs on getting Xastir compiled on Centos to support v6 in full RPMs but I had two questions: 1. Two items are missing what I run Xastir's configure but I was curious if I would be really missing anything from these two options? I'm not really looking to do anything fancy with Xastir though I'd like to be able to support offline cached map tiles: -- xastir 2.0.1 has been configured to use the following options and external libraries: MINIMUM OPTIONS: ShapeLib (Vector maps) . : yes RECOMMENDED OPTIONS: GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick (Raster maps) : yes (ImageMagick) pcre (Shapefile customization) . : yes dbfawk (Shapefile customization) ... : yes rtree indexing (Shapefile speedups) : yes map caching (Raster map speedups) .. : yes internet map retrieval . : yes (libcurl) FOR THE ADVENTUROUS: AX25 (Linux Kernel I/O Drivers) : yes libproj (USGS Topos& Aerial Photos) ... : yes GeoTiff (USGS Topos& Aerial Photos) ... : no<-- Festival (Text-to-speech) .. : yes GDAL/OGR (Obtuse map formats) .. : no<-- GPSMan/gpsmanshp (GPS downloads) ... : yes -- 2. When I load different maps with the compiled code working with a Kenwood D710 in KISS mode, I'm always getting a few of these errors from the 2.0.1CVS code (downloaded 2 days ago).
