I did the chmod, I even did a ./configure then a make and a sudo make
install then the chmod but it still didn't work. There is no directory
under var called lock, should I create an empty one?
Hmmmm, we need another idea.

I connect my laptop (Mac OS X) running Xastir to my D700 using a

I select
that connection in the interface control nothing happens, it
doesn't even
blink.
If all that seems unlikely to be the problem, does someone else
have an idea
what could be causing it?
It's likely that Xastir isn't able to open it. Could be
permissions, could be a different interface being used now.
hmm, i've never seen permissions problems working with a variety of
mac os x 232/usb drivers, but i don't update my drivers too often,
either.
i do vaguely remember a lock directory that xastir wanted to use
didn't exist, or had the wrong permissions on it. Does /var/lock
exist on your machine? Curt's fix for making xastir setuid root will
solve permissions problems on that directory, but won't help if it
doesn't exist.
Does the console where you kicked off xastir display any messages,
helpful or otherwise?
