I didn't see grabbing the geotiff binaries from the respo's mentioned in the new HowTo - maybe I missed it. If the binaries are installed, they will work if Xastir is configured using an additional command line option as follows: configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff Just my opinion, but I think the best way to install geotiff is to edit the get-maptools.sh script so that it only grabs the geotiff source code, then run it to install. Change the portion below in the script ALL=" http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pcre/pcre-6.3.tar.gz http://dl.maptools.org/dl/shapelib/shapelib-1.2.10.tar.gz\ http://dl.maptools.org/dl/proj/proj-4.4.9.tar.gz\ http://dl.maptools.org/dl/geotiff/libgeotiff/libgeotiff-1.2.3.tar.gz\ http://dl.maptools.org/dl/gdal/gdal-1.3.2.tar.gz"; to ALL=" http://dl.maptools.org/dl/geotiff/libgeotiff/libgeotiff-1.2.3.tar.gz"; Then do the "ugly hack" to the script - deleting the comment characters in the lines specified. I have wiki editing rights, so I can add that as an alternative. > With regard to ImageMagick, I did notice that libmagick9-dev didn't > work in 9.04.

I've already run through installing from CVS on 9.04 a few times, and libmagickcore-dev is the right package to install replacing libmagick9-dev from earlier versions. I've also found that xorg-dev is no longer needed. Installing libxp-dev and libmagickcore-dev will install a host of x11-xxxx dependencies that are also installed when xorg-dev is installed, and it appears that those dependencies are what Xastir needs as opposed to xorg-dev itself. Good work - been meaning to update the wiki myself, but it's that time thing again.
