   Works!  Thanks Carl!  And thanks to Tom and Lee too - learned a lot!

   Lee's solution - AC_SEARCH_LIBS([WriteImage],[Magick MagickCore], -
tried first, didn't work.  Then tried AC_CHECK_LIB([Magick],
[WriteImage], - and that didn't work either.  Then noted and ran
bootstrap.sh and it worked! 
   Now back to AC_SEARCH_LIBS([WriteImage],[Magick MagickCore], run
bootstrap.sh again, ./config looks totally sane and all there, make, su,
make install, and it's now working a treat!

   Thanks all - hope there are not TOO many apps running into this...

BTW - each 'make install' clobbers my maps.  I symlink my map dir's
to /usr/local/share/xastir/maps, but the link is deleted each time.  Is
there any way this could be done in ~/.xastir?  A symlink there
to /usr/local/share/xastir/maps during setup perhaps, then a means of
adding user-defined directory/ies in the chooser? and retaining
chooser's zooms/levels etc settings?  Maybe someone else needed for
this, and it may have been kicked around/out before...

Meanwhile...

Dex, ZL2DEX, now with a functioning xastir!
