Whoa, hang on a second... I tried redirecting the shell output to a log file, just to see what scrolled by, and got something interesting. Nothing in the log, but I see the following on the screen:<br><br>***** WARNING *****<br>Berkeley DB header files/shared library file do NOT match!<br>Disabling use of the map cache.<br> Header file: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.29: (December 3, 2008)<br>Library file: Berkeley DB 4.5.20: (December 3, 2008)<br>***** WARNING *****<br><br>Then it lists a set of built-in maps, and support for additional maps , including TIGER/online and a bunch of others.<br><br>Then it complains:<br><br>festival_client: connect to server failed<br>SayText: Couldn't open socket to Festival<br>Indexing maps...<br>Finished indexing maps<br>*** Reading WX Alert log files<br>*** Done with EX Alert log files<br><br><br>Does this help? Seems like the caching won't work, but I should still be able to fetch the maps each time I pan/resize/etc., right?<br><br>Greg KO6TH<br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: ko6th_greg@hotmail.com<br>To: aprssig@tapr.org<br>Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 22:01:13 -0700<br>Subject: Re: [aprssig] Help with XASTIR maps<br><br>

Hi Curt, Rick,<br><br>The problem seems to be that the GPS/ and Online/ directories do not expand. I can click on them to select and not select, but they don't do anything. Right clicking does nothing. Unclicking and re-clicking the Expand button doesn't do anything other than pop the little square's belly-button in and out. And for some reason the entire window kind of hops down the screen a quarter of an inch with each button click, but I think that's probably a KDE bug (I'm running KDE 4, which is kind of buggy). <br><br>Starting Xastir from a user shell I see a ton of messages about character \260 not being supported in font and being discarded. Create_appshell text_output2 is the Name, and XmTextField is the Class. But nothing displayed when I play with the map chooser.<br><br>If I choose Help->About Xastir, it tells me something about libcurl, and libcurl is loaded on the system. Actually the file is /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4. I tried making a sym link for libcurl.so (without the .4), but no change. "whereis libcurl" does find the sym link, so the path is good. Wget is also loaded.<br><br>The Internet Map timeout is 120 seconds, which should be way long enough. I'm on a cable modem here. What is the URL for the Tiger maps, so I can try to ping them?<br><br>I do notice that there is a display of "loading weather alert maps" that shows up in the lower left corner of the display whenever I do stuff. It lasts for about 10 seconds, and then my station call sign is displayed. I tried zooming out to cover basically the whole country, figuring *somewhere* there must be some weather to be alerted to, but nothing shows up.<br><br>What next?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Greg KO6TH<br><br><br>> Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 09:40:27 -0700<br>> From: archer@eskimo.com<br>> To: aprssig@tapr.org<br>> Subject: Re: [aprssig] Help with XASTIR maps<br>> <br>> On Mon, 21 Sep 2009, Rick Green wrote:<br>> <br>> >> What else do I need to do?
