Have you checked that /usr/local/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf
and then run ldconfig as root?  That's the usual problem.  The
dynamic loader is not able to dynamically link the executable with
the libraries it needs if the ld.so.cache file doesn't contain the
proper entires.  That file gets updated by ldconfig, from ld.so.conf
as the input.

That should all be spelled out in the Xastir "INSTALL" file.
