    Chuck, it sounds like somewhere you have a mix of precompiled ax25
    stuff that uses /etc/ax25 for its config files, and home-built programs
    that use /usr/local/etc/ax25. This may not be the right answer, but
    what I've done to workaround this is to make /usr/local/etc/ax25 a
    symbolic link to /etc/ax25 -- that way all the programs will find the
    same config directory, no matter which one they're looking for.

    Assuming that your config files are currently all installed in
    /etc/ax25 and you don't have anything you need to save in
    /usr/local/etc/ax25, do this:

    rm -rf /usr/local/etc/ax25
    ln -s /etc/ax25 /usr/local/etc/ax25

    Now both directories point to the same place.

    It's not pretty, but it works.

    Also, I think Richard noted about permissions being a problem -- I've
    been bitten by that, too. You need to make sure that both the config
    files, and the /etc/ax25 directory itself, are world readable.

    73,
    John
