Did you install Xastir via a couple of different methods on the
laptop, and run Xastir under one of them?

It's likely either that your ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf file has
incorrect paths for your current installation, or that you forgot to
do the "make install" bit as the root user.

In other words, either Xastir is looking in the wrong place for
needed files (the config file has the wrong paths), or the needed
files didn't get installed.
