I have both on Jessie/Sid and confirmed that the ax25 libraries were the same. chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/xastir and it worked! I didn't need to try alternate hardware for the USB-serial converter. Some other problems that I struck using the latest development tar.gz and making a debian package with checkinstall was that there is hardcoded somewhere a script which looks in /usr/share/xastir/symbols/ and fails when they aren't there. I made a symlink to solve that, but I still have a black box on my taskbar instead of a 4WD icon. Then I transferred all my dbfawk files back into config so the maps were readable.
