See http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:Ubuntu_10.04 under "if you
already installed the binary version".

The binary pre-built version is installed in /usr/share while the
source version is installed in /usr/local/share.  You probably have a
config file in the hidden.xastir directory under your home directory.
If you don't need to save any configuration from the older binary
version, you can just delete everything in there, and then restart
Xastir.
