Do have an idle question though: When I do a "Help" and "About" the

The date shown used to always change to whatever the date was when I ran
the compile script - I thought - in fact I used to use it to make sure I
didn't run update too often. I usually use the supplied "update-xastir"
script.
xastir/src/Makefile.am has this section:
--------------------------------------
compiledate.c: $(XASTIR_SRC)
rm -f compiledate.c compiledate.o
echo 'char compiledate[] = "'"Compiled: `date`"'";' > compiledate.c
remove_compiledate:
rm -f compiledate.c compiledate.o
--------------------------------------
That first big creates xastir/src/compiledate.c which gets compiled
into the executable. Look at your to see if there's a permissions
problem or similar keeping it from getting updated when you run
automake (from bootstrap.sh). Perhaps try updating your
automake/autoconf as well.
