Did you get an extra '/' character in there?  It should be:

         ./bootstrap.sh

And it should look pretty much like this when you run it:

     > ./bootstrap.sh
         7) Removing autom4te.cache directory...
         6) Running aclocal...
         5) Running autoheader...
         4) Running autoconf...
         3) Running automake...
         2) Checking for 'mkinstalldirs'... Found!
         1) Generating derived language files.....
     Bootstrap complete.


>        ./configure

The rest looks good.  There's also an "update-xastir" script which
should do all the steps for you in sequence.  The first few times
you do it though it's good to do it by hand to make sure you have
all the tools installed and don't miss some critical error message.
After that though it's as easy as:

     ./update-xastir
