I have noticed that some files (especially maps and sometimes
xastir.rgb) get installed without read access for all users after using
"sudo make install".  I decided this may have been due to the process
from the sudo inheriting things from my shell process.  I have been
doing make installs after really logging in as root (e.g. "sudo su -")
and it has not happened.  In any case it should be easy to fix by
connecting to "/usr/local/share" (as root) and issuing
"sudo chmod -R o+rx xastir"
