Should you still have trouble check to see if you are listed in the dialout
group...
Common problems with serial ports on Linux/Unix ("Unix" includes Mac OSX) with
Xastir include:
*) Specifying the wrong device or device path in Xastir's interface dialog.
*) Wrong serial port settings in Xastir's interface dialog.
*) Incorrect ownership, group ownership, or permission for the device
*) Group membership for the user doesn't match group for the device
*) Wrong startup/shutdown scripts for Xastir's interface, for devices that need
setup commands.
*) Probably other things I can't think of right now...
See the docs distributed with Xastir, the www.xastir.org Wiki, and mailing list
archives for discussions about all of these. Feel free to ask again on the
list if you don't get satisfaction.
NOTE: Running Xastir as the "root" user is _not_ a solution to any of the
above, but a serious problem in its own right. Don't do it. Friends don't let friends
run as root!
