Thanks for responding David and Tom, I started out doing this because I wanted to interface Xastir to PostGis/Postgresql as I thought this might prove interesting to our local digital ham radio group. The whole Xastir thing appears new to most of us.
Yes, I was following the How to Fedora link you mentioned along with other sources as I've spent the previous day and a half in an attempt to build xastir with all its features enabled. I have slowly been adding libraries and at least getting the configure to tell me that it thought it was finding the necessary pieces. Actually neither ImageMagick nor GraphicsMagick, both of which are installed, along with their development rpms, were being found when I ran xastir's configure. I just ran the configure after a cold start of my system this morning and voilà the GraphicsMagick was found by xastir's configure. BTW I installed GraphicsMagick in the first place because one of the xastir installation documents argued that it was more likely to maintain a stable API than ImageMagick which was under greater development pressures. I've had ImageMagick installed for quite a while so added the development rpm, but ./configure was not finding it, so I added GraphicsMagick to my system. I would be curious why you are recommending ImageMagick over GraphicsMagick. Results of ./configure first thing this morning: xastir 2.0.6 has been configured to use the following options and external libraries: MINIMUM OPTIONS: ShapeLib (Vector maps) ................. : yes RECOMMENDED OPTIONS: GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick (Raster maps) : yes (GraphicsMagick) pcre (Shapefile customization) ......... : yes dbfawk (Shapefile customization) ....... : yes rtree indexing (Shapefile speedups) .... : yes map caching (Raster map speedups) ...... : no internet map retrieval ................. : yes (wget) FOR THE ADVENTUROUS: AX25 (Linux Kernel I/O Drivers) ........ : no libproj (USGS Topos & Aerial Photos) ... : yes GeoTiff (USGS Topos & Aerial Photos) ... : yes Festival (Text-to-speech) .............. : yes GDAL/OGR (Obtuse map formats) .......... : yes GPSMan/gpsmanshp (GPS downloads) ....... : yes xastir will be installed in /usr/local/bin. Type 'make' to build Xastir (Use 'gmake' instead on some systems). Not so good after all! It turns out that if I run ./configure --with-postgis I get this: xastir 2.0.6 has been configured to use the following options and external libraries: MINIMUM OPTIONS: ShapeLib (Vector maps) ................. : yes RECOMMENDED OPTIONS: GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick (Raster maps) : no pcre (Shapefile customization) ......... : yes dbfawk (Shapefile customization) ....... : yes rtree indexing (Shapefile speedups) .... : yes map caching (Raster map speedups) ...... : no internet map retrieval ................. : yes (wget) FOR THE ADVENTUROUS: AX25 (Linux Kernel I/O Drivers) ........ : no libproj (USGS Topos & Aerial Photos) ... : yes GeoTiff (USGS Topos & Aerial Photos) ... : yes Festival (Text-to-speech) .............. : yes GDAL/OGR (Obtuse map formats) .......... : no GPSMan/gpsmanshp (GPS downloads) ....... : yes DEVELOPER OPTIONS: ErrorPopups (Old Method) ............... : no libgc (Debug memory usage) ............. : no profiling (Debug code efficiency) ...... : no Linux Standard Base (LSB) .............. : no Spatial database support ............... : yes Spatial database Postgresql/Postgis .... : yes MySQL .................................. : MySQL Spatial database support ......... : no xastir will be installed in /usr/local/bin. Type 'make' to build Xastir (Use 'gmake' instead on some systems). The relevant detail sections output as configure runs appear to be: 1. ./configure checking if db.h is exists and is usable... no checking for GraphicsMagick-config... /usr/bin/GraphicsMagick-config checking GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h usability... yes checking GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h presence... yes checking for GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h... yes checking for WriteImage in -lGraphicsMagick... yes checking that generated files are newer than configure... done 2. ./configure --with-postgis checking if db.h is exists and is usable... no checking for GraphicsMagick-config... /usr/bin/GraphicsMagick-config checking GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h usability... yes checking GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h presence... yes checking for GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h... yes checking for WriteImage in -lGraphicsMagick... no configure: WARNING: *** Cannot find GraphicsMagick library files: Building w/o GraphicsMagick support. *** checking for Magick-config... /usr/bin/Magick-config checking magick/api.h usability... yes checking magick/api.h presence... yes checking for magick/api.h... yes checking for library containing WriteImage... no configure: WARNING: *** Cannot find ImageMagick library files: Building w/o ImageMagick support. *** checking that generated files are newer than configure... done which suggest to me that there is a problem to be found in the ./configure having to do with how the --with-postgis flag is being processed. Like I said I really don't understand exactly what the .configure does but I will take a look and see what I can learn. Hopefully someone with more xastir experience and knowledge of what it takes to get it to run will take a look and provide some advice. Eventually, I'm going to see if I can add map caching next and see if I can get the AX25 drivers in too. Though at this point I am not sure what AX25 will do for me. Guess the challenge is put it all together and see what I get. I was disappointed when I did a ./configure --with-postgis followed by a make which quickly gave me a fatal error apparently because it couldn't find a requisite .h file. gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/pgsql-9.4/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include -DXASTIR_DATA_BASE=\"/usr/local/share/xastir\" -g -O2 -pipe -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-unused-parameter -pthread -MT db.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/db.Tpo -c -o db.o db.c In file included from db.c:82:0: db_gis.h:57:22: fatal error: libpq-fe.h: No such file or directory #include <libpq-fe.h> I've Postgres 9.4 and PostGIS installed on this system so I'll go looking for the file. I can't remember how I installed it but the default version of Postgresql for Fedora 20 is 9.3 so I did something different than just yum from the Fedora repos. I apologize if this is too much.
