Wasn't there some flags that had to be passed to OSX in order to tell it where *.dynlib libraries were to be found?  Probably at the configure step. Solved. It looks like it was the Snow Leopard 64 bit defaults that were breaking things. I must have not updated Xastir since I installed Snow

Hi Craig (and others), Thanks for the feedback on OSM support in xastir. I'm don't know much about OSX (I'm only a linux/unix guy from way back), so I'm happy that others could help out with the problems. As for turning on the OSM maps, look for Online/OpenStreetMaps.geo in the map chooser.
