Start Xastir from an Xterm. Most error messages will show up in that xterm and might lead you to the problem.
You can turn on/off screenshots and Xastir will try to take a snapshot. Do another on/off cycle and it will try again. More than likely you're missing some library that Xastir needs to do the snapshot or to convert it to png. Snapshots are working on my systems. My major list of libs (from Help->About): AX25 Festival GPSMan GraphicsMagick libProj GeoTiff ShapeLib PCRE Dbfawk map_caching rtree libcurl However, many of those use additional libraries which aren't listed there. Looking in src/maps.c I see "snapshot_thread" which has this comment: // Create png image (for use in web browsers??). Requires that "convert" // from the ImageMagick package be installed on the system. At the // point this thread is started, the XPM file has already been // created. We now create a .geo file to go with the .png file. snapshot_thread() is started from Snapshot(), in the same file. The XPM file is created from XpmWriteFileFromPixmap() in Snapshot(), prior to starting snapshot_thread(). I've got these "Magick" RPM's installed: $ rpm -qa | grep -i magick GraphicsMagick-1.3.21-76.1.x86_64 libGraphicsMagick3-config-1.3.21-76.1.x86_64 libGraphicsMagick3-1.3.17-2.4.1.x86_64 libGraphicsMagickWand-Q16-2-1.3.21-76.1.x86_64 GraphicsMagick-devel-1.3.21-76.1.x86_64 libGraphicsMagick-Q16-3-1.3.21-76.1.x86_64 libMagickWand5-6.7.8.8-4.21.1.x86_64 ImageMagick-6.7.8.8-4.21.1.x86_64 libMagickCore5-6.7.8.8-4.21.1.x86_64 and these containing "xpm": $ rpm -qa | grep -i xpm libXpm-devel-3.5.10-4.1.1.x86_64 libXpm4-32bit-3.5.10-4.1.1.x86_64 libXpm4-3.5.10-4.1.1.x86_64 libXpm-tools-3.5.10-4.1.1.x86_64 I hope that helps.
