What does your top-level Makefile show for the CPPFLAGS line after
you run configure?

Here's mine on SuSE Linux for an LSB compile:


  CPPFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/src/shapelib -I/opt/lsb/include
  -I/opt/lsb/include -I/opt/lsb-tmp/include/GraphicsMagick
  -DXASTIR_DATA_BASE=\"${prefix}/share/xastir\"


And for a "normal" source install:


  CPPFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include
  -I/usr/local/include/GraphicsMagick
  -DXASTIR_DATA_BASE=\"${prefix}/share/xastir\"


It appears that you're missing the "-D" portion or it's been set to
the wrong value.  I'm wondering if this could be due to a shell
other than SH or BASH being used, or some other OSX difference
that's not accounted for.

FWIW I've done the prefix thing in the LSB port and it works just
fine.  It installs into "/opt/Xastir/".  I just checked something by
disabling the xastir.rgb in the standard location of
"/usr/local/share/xastir/config/xastir.rgb".  LSB Xastir still finds
the file, presumably at "/opt/Xastir/share/config/xastir.rgb".

I'd like to get to the bottom of this problem.
