"tar" is one of those weird Linux/Unix commands that doesn't use
dashes for the options, so I believe it should be something like:

     tar xvzf xastir121-2003-Jul-02.tgz

unless they've messed with "tar" on the Mac to require the dashes.

Here's how I would do it:

*) Download the latest devel snapshot (Sept 16th)

*) "tar xzvf xastir199-2010-Sep-16.tgz"

    This will create a new directory called "xastir199" and
    decompress the contents of the .tgz file into there.

*) "cd xastir199"

*) "./bootstrap.sh"

    Make sure you don't get any errors at this stage.  You may need
    to install automake & autoconf before this command will succeed.

*) "./configure"

    Check some of the Mac-specific instructions 'cuz you may want to
    add some flags there to pick up some additional directories that
    have libraries of interest.  Like the configure line you quoted
    below.

*) "make"

*) "sudo make install"

    "make install-strip" is also ok, which removes debugging info
    from the executable.
