Tom, Lee, and all, Regarding my installation issue with packages from earlier messages:
I was able to successfully install Xastir. You were correct, not all packages were installed correctly. I found if I tried to install multiple packages at the same time, as part of the same command, not all packages actually were installed, or failed to install. When I installed packages one at a time, running separate commands, they installed successfully. Example: sudo apt-get install git autoconf automake xorg-dev graphicsmagick gv libmotif-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev Rather I installed each one at a time: sudo apt-get install autoconf sudo apt-get install automake etc... Once I did this, everything worked as expected. I also replicated this on my Pi3B. Not sure if it was typographical error, or something else Thank you all for your help. I appreciate the support. Now I can get to work on a 9600 baud node!
