Thanks all for the replies .. Some of these are good and useful indeed..
Ive actually got a working version of 1.90 xastir on there now but without
raster maps. This sounds like it would be easy to fix with imagemagick but
the development files still allude me. I think its actually libmagick5-dev
that I am looking for but if I try and install that it had many dependancy
issues which are not resolvable. I looked at some of the dependancies and
they also have depandancies. Its another one of those dependancy blackholes
that just gets to be a bigger pit as you look down it..
That is what apt and other package managers are supposed to manage for
you. This is one of the hardest things about compiling from source;
solving dependencies on dependencies (known as dependency hell).
Now I will tell you how I got 1.90 going.. Dont cringe too much but I loaded
a binary for 1.40 xastir that was premade for this old distro. and then
compiled 1.90 on top of that. Although they have different directory
structures I deleted the 1.40 xastir binary executable and I seem to have a
working 1.90. Pretty rough I know and very cludgey but obviuosly something
is in the 1.40 binary which fixes the segfaults I had .. Its not the
ultimate and in time I can likely pull apart the 1.40 binary and see just
whats in there. It proves something I guess..
Ugly but it works...
In the mean time I dont have any raster maps till I get 1.90 to compile with
imagemagick development files. Ive found the imagemagick web site. They have
a source file up there that I could download and try and compile. Its about
6 or so megs I think but are the development files in there ??
Yes. By definition, if you compile from source it will also build the
header files necessary to build other apps against it, but you'll have
to resolve the dependencies for ImageMagick...
ImageMagick-6.3.5-10.i386.rpm is about 4 megs. I could use alien to convert
this to a deb but are the development files in there ??
No. The development package is pretty well always labelled as
<app_name>_devel or <app_name>-devel or -dev or something similar (with
the same version appended as the application). These packages are much
smaller and only contain the header files needed by the compiler when
building other apps against the libraries.
You need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure that the necessary
repositories are enabled (uncomment the lines by removing the leading
#). The repositories are generally in pairs - one for the base packages
and a separate entry for the development packages. You'll probably need
to uncomment the lines for Universe and Universe Development
repositories. Other Debian/Ubuntu users may have more input on which
repositories are needed.

The apt utilities includes a function called apt-cache
that will let you search for packages and give you a
hand.
Usage would be:
apt-cache search <partial package name>
For example, searching for anything with shapelib:
apt-cache search shapelib*
Yields:
gpsmanshp - A Tcl interface to shapelib
libshp-dev - C API for reading and writing ArcView
Shapefiles
libshp1 - C API for reading and writing ArcView
Shapefiles
shapelib - C API for reading and writing ArcView
Shapefiles
You can also do this with libmagick* and you'll be
able to spot the development libraries.
I'm not sure what the segfaulting is from but you
don't need ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick or even
geotiff to initially start Xastir. However, dbfawk is
needed to parse some data like the maps. You may have
to download the shapelib source code separately
(outside of Debian's apt system) to get that working.

Hi Rod .. I is learning alot still ..
To answer your question with another question..
I have installed imagemagick libmotif libmotif-dev
but I have no idea
what the name of the image magick development file
is.
Bear in mind this is equivalent to a Debian v3.0
Woody system. I notice
that libmagick5 is installed with another package
(probably imagemegick) .
http://packages.debian.org/source/sarge/imagemagick
Just looking at that web page maybee there is a
libmagick5-dev package at a
guess for woody in the archives ??
Maybee if Hamish is watching he will know whats
missing ..
It nearly ran last night after a make install ..
Came up with the xastir
window and then segfaulted .. I have been looking at
the libraries needed
and trolling the debian website for clues but
excatly what the
library/dependancies names are isnt allways easy to
figure out although Ive
managed to make some progress since the last email..
When the configure finnishes it says there is no
imagemagick support so
theres a clue.
Here are the warnings and clues
"Warning can not find image magick include files"
(this is probably the
killer by what you say Rod)
"Warning geotiff requires libproj" --- I have not
been able to find a
libproj myself
"Warning dbfawk requires both pcre and shapelib" --
I cant find these in
debian either
When I run xastir up it segfaults with these
comments
"Perhaps no XPM or imagemagick library support is
installed" which sorta
connects back to where we started ..
So what am I looking for here in the dark exactly ??

Heres the results from the configure.. The make

I can see its got issues with shapefil.h pcre.h
XpmI.h gdal.h
db.h magick/api.h Now this is familiar
"WARNING: *** Cannot find

And thats just v1.6.0
Tony,
Have you installed the ImageMagick-devel packages?
You need not only to
install the base packages but also the development
packages for each of
the dependencies. These contain the missing header
files that are needed
for other applications to compile against the
various libraries.
You should enable the relevant dev repositories in
the apt repository
configuration file and then do apt-get
<package>-devel. If, however, you
have compiled each of the dependencies from source
the headers will also
have been installed. You may need to specify where
the headers have been
installed with the appropriate parameters passed
to configure (do
configure --help to get the list of available
switches).
Regards,
Rodney.
Maybee its just too hard to make it go on this
system but there is good
reason to try. If I can get it going I would
like to make a deb file
with
checkinstall
