Jav,
I have considered using other clients but I've been using xastir for so
long and so successfully that I'm reluctant to change. However, if the
packages conflict isn't resolved any time soon my patience timer may
time out!

Ray,
If the goal is to have a remotely located digi/igate, headless, maybe aprx
would be a better choice?
I'm running K4JH-1 with aprx on an RPi, and it's been flawless for a couple of
weeks now.

All,
I'm making progress towards a working RPi for an igate but have struck a snag
compiling xastir.
I'm using the latest Debian Wheezy kernel - 2012-08-16-wheezy-raspbian.img - and
have compiled libax25, ax25apps & ax25tools. The stumbling block with xastir is
dependency conflicts between libgeotiff2-dev and both imagemagick and
graphicsmagick. I can have one or the other but not both. The conflict is well
documented but, thus far, I have not found a solution.
Given that the igate will be located in a position remote from the house and
will be headless I could ignore the problem but, I'd like to resolve it for my
own satisfaction and to help others. For that last reason I have sent this
enquiry here rather than directly to n1mjf who has already had xastir working
on the RPi. Perhaps n1mjf would like to dip in and provide a bit of detail.
FWIW, what is working with the RPi so far, and it happily boots reliably, is a 4 port
usb/rs232 ftdi adaptor (thanks Jason) and a tp-link tl-wn721n usb wifi adaptor. I'm
using wicd to configure networking. Just xastir left to sort <grin>
BTW(1), if contemplating a lot of development tools and such on the RPi, use a
minimum 8GB SD card. I filled the 4G I started with.
BTW(2), the Soundblaster usb that is supposed to work OOTB did work with the
RPi but locked the system on boot. There's a lot to be said for real KISS TNCs
for packet.
