Thanks for the help, Curt. Based on your advice, I'm trying to use cvs to install the release version, which should be 2.0.1.

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/xastir co -r 
RELEASE xastir

Get rid of the "-r RELEASE" portion if you're after 2.0.1 (CVS HEAD
version).  The -r option is also "sticky", so you'll either need to
delete the stuff you check out already including "." files there, or
you'll need to use "-r HEAD" to change the sticky tag so that it
always goes for the latest again.


./bootstrap.sh

With the procedure you followed, bootstrap.sh should have run
autoconf/automake and given you 2.0.0 because that version should
have been tagged with "RELEASE".  I'll check whether that might have
been missed during the release process in October.

checking for gcc... no

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

why is gcc not being found, since I just installed it with synaptic? I may have messed up earlier in the process, and these questions are irrelevant.

Configure isn't finding enough on your system to declare that you
have a working GCC compiler.  Check whether there are other
development packages that need to be installed that are related to
GCC.

You can check config.log in the directory you ran configure to see
what the specific problems were with doing a test compile.
