The battle wasn't with Xastir at all. Just the dependency problems and flying blind while fixing them. I used the previous update scripts as a guide and eventually it all worked.
Right now I am using it to something a bit unorthodox. My friend is a ship's master and he is uses HF APRS. I have Xastir tracking him (ya, I know it could be done with aprs.fi but where's the challenge) as his cargo ship moves around the world. Right now he is in harbor in Israel. So I guess you could say it is working. OH, the move was from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 so that might have been part of the issue causing source. Thanks again. Regards, W.T.
