Days' effort and research. Then find the Debian script. Sorry, Lee, > yours is for 6 (Squeeze). You've built a 7, so something must have worked. I know I've built Xastir successfully in Debian 7 (Wheezy). I just didn't make a script for it other than the one for the Raspian version for the Raspberry Pi. > Try the script anyway. No go.

What's the problem with 'su -c' in the scripts - too many password prompts? I note, Lee, you have a Pi script for Jessie - that might work, I'll give it a whirl... > Nope, thrown out looking for ui/binary/armhf/Packages in sources.list. > I'll plan to remove the Raspian-Jessie version of the script. That was something I threw together for you to try based on your previous observations about what needed to change from Wheezy to Jessie. I didn't have anything to test it on. I haven't upgraded my Raspberry Pi to Jessie yet. Lee - K5DAT _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
