You're missing a development package that contains the Print extention's 
headers.  This is an annoying dependency that gets pulled in as a second- or
third- generation dependency.  Xastir itself doesn't use that extension, but
its header needs to be there for something else.

You'll have to find the Centos package that includes that file.  On my 
Ubuntu systems it's called "x11proto-print-dev", and on my FreeBSD systems i
it's in a package called "printproto" but I can't tell you what it is on your 
system.  Someone else with a Centos system will have to pipe in.  I see no
reference to a special package for that purpose in the Wiki:

http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:CentOS_5.2

If you've already followed those instructions, then perhaps a package changed
to stop including the Print header for whatever reason, and the instructions
could need updating by someone in the know.
