I have done two Ubuntu 9.10 virtual machines in the last week using exactly the procedure in the current Xastir wiki page (regular desktop and Ubuntu Netbook Remix) -- I literally cut-and-pasted the apt-get install lines from the wiki into the shell and got a functional Xastir. Both attempts installed libxpm-dev as one of the dependencies from the first apt-get install line. I have not tried 9.04 --- it's possible that there's a broken dependency somewhere. So at least for 9.10, there is no need to change the wiki instructions. Until last week, the 9.04 page had broken instructions and did not even include xorg-dev. But leaving that out makes xastir uncompilable, so I don't think that's the issue --- you must have installed that one even though it was missing from the wiki instructions. But it's one of: xorg-dev libmotif-dev graphicsmagick gv libxp-dev that's getting things installed on 9.10, at any rate. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
