The /scripts directory is under the xastir directory i.e.
~/src/xastir/scripts
In trying out what I typed into the e-mail I did see a couple of typos
on the file names I will have to clean up my previous e-mail and send it
in again.

I tested the build directions and tried to integrate the help from Lee
(K5DAT) and Gale (KC4PL). Lee's instructions are on the web as given
below, and Gale's instructions appeared in an email. As it turned
out, Lee's instructions were generally a super-set of the instructions
given by Gale, so that is mostly what I followed. The install was
mostly successful. A few notes on what I did follow:
Installing packages
used automake1.9 instead of automake {per Gale} (was this a good idea?)
did a great number of additional installs based (per Lee)
Setting up .cvsrc
I made a typo, so when the file ran, -z3 was not applied. It
probably didn't matter.
Getting the source
I chose to get STABLE, figuring I could easily go to the bleeding
edge, but going back might be hard.
Shell scripts
Gale suggests running ./get-maptools.sh in ~/src/xastir. The script
didn't exist, so I skipped it.
Libraries
I built the proj.4 library as suggested, but skipped libgeotiff,
since it sounded unnecessary for me.
In retrospect, it would have been good to do it -- very easy, why not?
Install xastir
I got the expected results, except GeoTiff and GDAL capabilities are
not available.
festival
running "festival --server &" fails due to "no default voice found ..."
xastir
running xastir seems to work great, but there are some messages at
the console
see below

I set up xaster to use tigermap.geo, and I'm very pleased. Now I'm
sure I will have some questions in a day or two.
My suggestions for the MEPIS instructions on the web would be to
resolve which automake should be used (there were several versions
available). Apparently something more needs to be done for festival,
which may be obvious, but I've never even heard of festival, so it
will require a little detective work. It seems like the bleeding edge
version is recommended over STABLE. Why wouldn't STABLE be
recommended for the masses?
In conclusion -- Great Job guys!!!! Thanks so much!

Curt,
I am very interested in getting this working, and your time is much
appreciated. I have to go take care of some business now and will get
back to this later this evening. If it appears most useful for me to
learn how to compile xastir, my work is cut out for me. I can probably
get some help from the MEPIS forum, but is there a latest-and-greatest
cookbook howto on compiling xastir?
http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:MEPIS_8.0
There is now. I like Mepis and have intended to do this for a long
time. Being Debian based, the procedure is very similar to the one
for Ubuntu. I did a clean install of Mepis 8.0.15 last weekend, and I
hadn't installed Xastir yet, so the timing was good.
