I've checked http://bugs.debian.org/xastir and 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xastir/+bugs and nobody has
reported this bug yet.  Someone who experiences the bug really ought to
do that, so it gets fixed, so we don't have to keep getting people to
rebuild.

You're not doing it right, mate.  You haven't installed necessary
dependencies.

The one you are missing is x11proto-print-dev ... and I found this out
by searching all packages for Print.h in that error message.  I used
apt-file to do that search.

Looking at the Wiki for XASTIR, that package is listed.  So please
follow the instructions there:
