How are you getting the files?   If you're getting them via a
released package then all the files you need should be there.  Same
for CVS.

I see typo's in the above, so you must be hand-typing the messages
into your e-mail?

Are you trying to run an RPM command to build Xastir?  That's where
xastir-min.spec.in would come into play.  I have a few spec.in files
on my system here but they're not used for a normal compile.

Tell us more about what you're trying to do and we should be able to
help you.  If you're not building RPM's or LSB, this should be the
procedure:

     ./bootstrap.sh
     ./configure
     make
     sudo make install
     sudo chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/xastir   # Optional

Skip bootstrap.sh if you're building from a released package.
