[Xastir] Problem after usingcompiling from using CVS

[ml41782]

I finally got away from the pre built packages and decided to use CVS for more recent fixes and updates. 

I followed the instruction here: 

http://www.xastir.org/wiki/Notes:CVS

The download went smoothly. 

cd xastir
   cvs update 
   ./bootstrap.sh
   ./configure
   (make clean;make -j3 2>&1) | tee make.log
   sudo make install
   sudo chmod 4555 /usr/local/bin/xastir (only needed if using kernel AX.25)
 
no Problems seen to this point. 

then I typed xastir

and it failled to startup

This was the error
XReadBitmapFile() failed: Bitmap not found? /usr/share/xastir/symbols/2x2.xbm

after further examination I found that there is no xastir directory  in the /usr/share directory but instead its in the /usr/share/local

I know I can move this manually. I was wondering is this a flaw in the script someplace ?
