Internal shapelib support should be considered a last resort of those uninterested in pursuing proper shared library support. Anyone interested enough to want to use xastir seriously should install shapelib properly. Only if it's a big problem to do so on their system (like, there's no package for it, or they just don't care about code bloat) should the internal one be used. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
