Well I followed the Ubuntu 10.04 How-to for installing Xastir, including the
installation of GDAL. Everything went fine and I encountered no errors
during installation. Xastir, however, will not start. When I go to launch
it, this is what is displayed:
h...@mint10 ~ $ xastir
Found pid file: /home/hank/.xastir/xastir.pid
Other Xastir process, pid: 6238 does not appear be running.
Built-in map types:

pop USGS GNIS Datapoints w/population

allowed)

then you can probably skip the ~/.xastir/ directory deletion. If it put it
anywhere else, then it's easier just to delete your per-user config
directory and let the new Xastir create a fresh one for you. Be aware that
if you do delete it, your callsign/location/internet connects/etc will need
to be redone in the new Xastir.
The synaptic-installed version, like most Linux packages, makes everything
live in /usr, not /usr/local. So it is necessary to fix the user config
on any Debian-based system on which Xastir has been installed from packages.
It is one of the first steps listed in the Ubuntu installation notes page on
the wiki.
Blowing away the .xastir director is probably the easiest approach for a
brand
new user, as Hank has indicated is his case. He is unlikely to have
installed
lots of local maps, or to have configured very many complex things --- he
has
also said he just uses an internet server at the moment rather than any sort
of
TNC set-up.
