Is there any process named "xastir" actually running? ps auxww | grep xastir If so, kill -9 it. You also seem not to have removed your .xastir directory, because it's trying to look for files in /usr/share/xastir, which is where the synaptic-installed version would have put things. Your scratch-built version should be looking in /usr/local/share/xastir. This is controlled by the file xastir.cnf in your .xastir/config directoy. It was first created by the synaptic version you installed, and is now pointing to the wrong place. So: mv .xastir dot_xastir_old and restart (after killing any stray old processes). It should regenerate your .xastir directory and repopulate it appropriately. You'll have to re-enter all of your callsign/callpass/interface data if you do it that way. But it's a clean, fresh start. The other option you can take rather than moving .xastir is to edit .xastir/config/xastir.cnf and change all the places where it refers to /usr/share and replace them with /usr/local/share. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off." _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
