Sounds like you're still running the binary from the Adept install, which would be in /usr/bin rather than in /usr/local/bin, and which would still be looking for things in /usr/share. Please try this in a terminal window: type -a xastir If the only thing that shows up is /usr/local/bin/xastir there's another problem, but if you find both /usr/bin/xastir and /usr/local/bin/xatstir (or even just /usr/bin/xastir) your deinstallation of the older version didn't take. You might still need to do something to complete the deinstallation of the package-installed version. If Adept won't do it for you, it might work by doing apt-get remove xastir -- 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?
