Do not re-run "apt-get install xastir" (you already guessed that was wrong). >From the shell, type "hash -r". This will purge the shell of any memory it might have had that xastir had been installed in /usr/bin. Make sure that your path includes /usr/local/bin: echo $PATH should show a colon-separated list of directories in which to look for installed programs. If it doesn't show /usr/local/bin in that list, add it: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin (if you need to do this, you'll also need to adjust your .bashrc or .bash_profile file to make it happen every time you log in). Once /usr/local/bin is in your path, xastir is installed, and the shell has been told to forget about old installations, you can start xastir. Be warned that your .xastir/config/xastir.cnf file will be full of paths telling xastir to look for various files in /usr/share/xastir, which will now be wrong. You'll either need to move .xastir/config/xastir.cnf to a new temporary name and let xastir repopulate it, or hand-edit the file to change all the instances of /usr/share to /usr/local/share That should get you past this. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off." _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
