Yes, the imagemagick development package in Lenny would most likely be
named libmagick9-dev (same as the one for Ubuntu 8.10).  Do a search
in Synaptic for "libmagick" and install the most recent version.  For
map caching, you need the Berkely development package.  The one
applicable to Ubuntu 8.10 was libdb4.7-dev.  Just to be sure, I would
also do a Synpatic search for "libdb" and pick the most recent dev
package (it might be version 4.6 or 4.8 for Lenny - not sure).

Finally after installing the above, delete your hidden .xastir
directory under your home and then re-compile Xastir.  That should
hopefully fix your map issue.
