note you probably need ./configure --prefix=/usr/ ,
otherwise it will default to /usr/local
and thus /usr/local/share/xastir will be put there.
i think /usr/share/xastir/ to look for stuff like maps is defined
in config file, or hardcoded other way - i've got similiar issue,
as fresh install of xastir installed in /usr/local looked for files
in /usr/share/xastir...
