Those aren't errors anyway, they're just informative.  You didn't
have the Festival daemon running when you started Xastir.  If next
time you do, Xastir will use it.  Xastir will run ok either way.

More than likely you ran an Xastir at a previous time which was
compiled by somebody else, so your per-user Xastir config files are
set up for /usr instead of /usr/local.  If you don't have anything
in your ~/.xastir/ directory that you wish to keep, blow away the
directory or rename it, then start the new Xastir which will create
the directory and default files there from scratch which will match
your executable.
