    Your update will be eagerly awaited.

    Meanwhile, my CVS build was working fine until reboot, then zilch I
looked at permissions, and all seemed OK, but still nothing. Finally
inspiration: ownership. The working system was post build, and had even
picked up on the previous config - would it work run as root? Put a sudo in
the desktop file Exec line, and voila! Had to re-configure, though.  How
now to get it to run as _me_ (user) and recognise ~/.xastir files? Should
there be a chown somewhere in the script so it will run as user post-build?

?I think you may have used the script I have provided to others for
compiling on the RPi.  There's nothing I am aware of in the way the script
installs Xastir that would require you to run Xastir as root.  In fact, I
am fairly sure that my own installation on the Pi was done using that
script, and I do not have to run Xastir as root.  So all I can say is I am
baffled by that requirement.  Other folks that have used the script did not
report back that they needed to run Xastir as root.

Are you using AX25 networking?

Thanks Lee and all...

Tom Russo's post in Vol.72 gave the answer: any instance of /usr/ in ~/.xastir/xastir.cnf amended to /usr/local/. Save, and all's right with the world! No need for the sudo...
