Do you have the .inf files for each map also in the same directory. The map images themselves won't work. The program needs the corresponding .inf file of the same name in the same directory to use Ui-View maps

The only issue is with uiview-derived maps. trully sorry to bug you guys, however me and a radio amateur mate are the only ones locally that have gone linux-xastir (in fact the vast majority of radioamateurs in Greece are Uiview operators), so we are sort of blazing the path here. I wonder if there is an online depository of related info that I can browse through, sort of 'rtfm' regards George SV4LAX PS My mate suggested that maybe this is a xastir version issue, I am quite unsure though, the SPM version that I am now using on 5 Ubuntu machines has no problems handling shp On Tue, 2009-03-10 at 12:32 -0700, Curt, WE7U wrote: > On Tue, 10 Mar 2009, George karayannis wrote: > > > Linux (Ubuntu 8.10 Distro) and Xastir (as added by Synaptic), > > > As discussed in a previous message, I have already added perl 5, > > Imagemagick and Graphicmagick, and being located in Greece (ie no > > Tigermaps will do) made numerous attempts with 'The Script'.
