Well, I tried deleting everything in /usr/local/share/xastir, re-building XASTIR in a new build directory, and re-installing, but I still had the same problem. When I first launched the newly compiled XASTIR, my original config was still intact, so I guess I should have deleted more. This was my first attempt to run XASTIR in VectorLinux 5.9 Standard. Because the Linux installation was brand new (nothing important on it), I decided to reinstall Vector and then download and compile XASTIR again. This time I didn't launch XASTIR from root, and it's working just fine. So, problem solved, albeit the hard way. Quick question on Shapelib - given that it is present internally, is there any benefit to downloading it via get-maptools?
