another day, a new hope, an eternal idiot . . . take your pick.

Thanks again to all for trying to help me, I'm a bit taken aback, after having dealt with a quite different level of support following my last attempt at getting an APRS system running, but no sour grapes.

I did a download of tiff-3.8.2 from the NH6Z site
did the tar-xvzf tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz
then cd /tiff-3.8.2
then ./configure

that process ended thus:

libtool: link: creating iptcutil

bash-3.2$

should I next run the:

make
sudo make install

commands, or is this unnecessary?

Also, i notice with some of these files, such as the shapelib, geotiff, and tiff, that I am able to unzip them via "regular means" (in the gui interface). Is there any reason why I should do it via the tar-xvzf in x11?

Hi Tom,

Following the sites instructions, I installed what I could using MacPorts. The instructions noted that shapelib and geotiff can not be installed with MacPorts, and provided the instructions I've been posting in my "problem threads". This is where I've run into the troubles.

Shapelib and libgeotiff are both in the Macports repository. They are listed as having no maintainer, but they do install and work for me.

http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=library&substr=libgeotiff
http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=library&substr=shapelib

and the repository also contains Xastir 1.9.8

http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=xastir


To get Xastir 1.9.8 should just require;

sudo port install xastir

with a reasonably recent Macports update which should install all the dependancies.

You can then disable 1.9.8 using;

sudo port disable xastir

and then follow the cvs instructions to install 1.9.9.

You might need to specify the db include and lib directories;

sh bootstrap.sh
./configure --with-bdb-incdir=/opt/local/include/db46/ --with-bdb- libdir=/opt/local/lib/db46/
make
sudo make install

NOTE: This will put Xastir into /usr/local/[bin|share]/ and not into /opt as MacPorts uses.

This is all working on my dual 2.7Ghz G5 PowerMac running Leopard. I haven't tried them on an intel mac in a while, but they were working 6 months ago.
