More than likely you've now got two sets of files installed in different places on your hard drive, and your config files in ~/.xastir/ directory are pointing to the old locations. That's why installing the 1.4.0 version got you going. Better would be to delete or rename your ~/.xastir directory, get rid of the installed files for Xastir in your /usr directory (except for your maps), and re-install just 1.9.0. When Xastir starts up it will recreate your ~/.xastir directory and config files, then with just a bit of configuration inside Xastir you should be running again. If you want to convert your config files instead, there are two scripts in the xastir/scripts/ directory that must be run, one as the user and one as "root". I can't recall now where the old directories were, but can tell you where the current stuff gets installed. -- Curt, WE7U: <www.eskimo.com/~archer/> XASTIR: <www.xastir.org> "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U The world DOES revolve around me: I picked the coordinate system! _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
