Tom,
I went to the xastir wiki and got directions for building from a tarball. I
searched for the latest stable release, and found version 2.0.4. I executed
the instructions from the wiki by copying and pasting the terminal commands
from the wiki to my terminal. FAIL

I would use the instructions at
http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:Ubuntu_12.10
I haven't checked, but my guess is that Mint 15 is equivalent to Ubuntu
13.04, and the Ubuntu 12.10 instructions should be very close if not
exactly right. I would search for the packages using synaptic rather than

Sorry, yes a 7 inch Touchscreen LCD Cape. At 800x480 resolution I was
surprised at how well you can see and interact with XASTIR. It scaled
down very nicely. Then again, the only small screen I'm used to for
doing detailed stuff is my phone, and using online maps and other
services on that is a

I would recommend using the OSM maps as a first step, which are vector maps
from the OpenStreetMaps project. Xastir can use OSM maps directly w/o having

Lee all,
Synaptic is just a GUI for apt-get. They both do the same thing just one
requires more reading, thinking and typing.
With Mint_15 being based on Ububntu_13.04-RaringRingtail the
instructions at http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:Ubuntu_12.10 would be
the best bet unless someone else has

Well, the reason people ask about version is that there are sometimes very
important
Yes synaptic is a front end for apt but it's much easier to use,
especially when one is looking for files with changed names. Synaptic
allows searching on partial names and one can scroll though a list,
looking for likely candidates and reading the notes for particular files

Paul,
Maybe it's just me but I find apt-cache search uninviting. To each their

David,
The only modification to XASTIR was to uncomment the #define tag for
the small screen options before compiling. Here is a message from the
archives explaining it in a little detail with a screenshot:
