The binary you attempted to use was the one I built specifically for
Debian Stable and Mepis 8.0/8.5.  Motif may still be available for
Squeeze, albeit in a repository that is not enabled by default, but
the package name may not match even if there is a package there.

I never did create binaries for the Debian Squeeze/Linux Mint Debian
genre, mainly because I didn't realize that the package in the
standard repository for those newer Linux distro's was still such an
old build of Xastir.  Any binaries I make are simply user-provided,
'courtesy to the community' type things, so I certainly haven't made
any promises.

I did write a step by step for installing Xastir from source in Linux
Mint Debian.

The above covers the September version, but I think it should still apply.
