Which makes me think that some of these installs put Xastir into the OS-standard location (/usr/*) instead of the user-installed-application location (/usr/local/*). If you've run Xastir before on the system you'll have a ~/.xastir/ directory set up with your per-user config files. If you then deinstall and reinstall Xastir in a new location, the paths in your per-user config files will be wrong, it won't be able to find maps, etc. > I don't know how much festival is used with xastir, but I have to > manually start a festival server before I start xastir: > > Or I get an error when I start xastir: Actually a warning. If you don't normally use Festival (speech) from within Xastir, don't start it, and ignore that warning.
