   ^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is where a binary install would put this file, and where a binary install
would put in your .xastir/config/xastir.cnf file.  It is the wrong location
for a scratch-built xastir build from CVS, which will be expecting those files
in /usr/local/share/xastir/symbols.  If you removed a binary package (e.g.
with "apt-get remove xastir" it would also have removed the /usr/share/xastir
directory.  Your new xastir build would have installed new files in 
/usr/local/share/xastir, but your config file still points to the old place.

The best thing to do is to edit your xastir.cnf file and change all
the instances of "/usr/share/xastir" to "/usr/local/share/xastir"
That should fix it, so long as you've actually done a "make install" in 
your CVS build.
