I followed the instructions that were listed on the Xastir Wiki.  I ran into a snag.  After doing the 'Install xastir' section, I was rewarded with 'yes' on the options listed with "xastir 1.9.9 has been configured to use the following options and external libraries". So I did 'Build the code' with the next step.  When it told me to launch the xastir it gave me a message saying xastir is not installed!!  It said to do the sudo apt-get install xastir command.  I did that, and that installed the original V1.9.4.  So I did the Wiki again, with the same results.

I should have emphasized this one.  Once you've built xastir, the final step
before starting it should be "sudo make install", which should be in the 
Wiki article.  If you skip that step, well, xastir won't be installed.
