However, this did not install properly because the Xastir compile routine looks for a specifc file named "magick-config" that is missing from 5.5.7 although there are files named "magick-config.1" and "magick-config.in" included in that release.  Even changing the config.h header file to force the #define did not help.

I suspect that if you install ImageMagick 5.5.7 from sources you'll
end up with the magick-config script.  THe magick-config.in file looks
suspiciously like an autoconf input file, and magick-config.1 is
most likely the man-page for it.  During the process of installing
ImageMagick the script should get created and installed.  At that
point Xastir should be able to find it, assuming it's in your path
somewhere.
