Apt-get installs ubuntu's pre-packaged version, which is 1.9.4, in ubuntu's standard directory structure.

When you compiled from source, the install script sticks xastir under / usr/local/bin. Because this directory isn't in your path, you need to prefix the path before running xastir or add that directory to your path.

You'll want to apt-get remove xastir again, and then run /usr/local/ bin/xastir to start up the compiled version.

After finding out that Tiger maps are no longer available I have been searching for my next move. My Xastir that was installed via 10.04 was V1.9.4. I followed the instructions that were listed on the Xastir Wiki. I ran into a snag. After doing the 'Install xastir' section, I was rewarded with 'yes' on the options listed with "xastir 1.9.9 has been configured to use the following options and external libraries". So I did 'Build the code' with the next step. When it told me to launch the xastir it gave me a message saying xastir is not installed!! It said to do the sudo apt-get install xastir command. I did that, and that installed the original V1.9.4. So I did the Wiki again, with the same results.

I am as green as a dollar bill, so what is my next move? I have been using xastir for APRS with on line Tiger maps for few years now. I do have a complete set of Tiger maps on CD's that I purchased few years ago, but have not tried them.
