If you've already installed from sources, then you've got all or nearly all the tools you need ready and working, plus the libraries Xastir is looking for already installed.  About all you need extra are:

     autoconf, automake, cvs

Safest is to just create a new directory for the CVS version.  That way you don't mess up the other (just in case, until you feel comfortable with CVS and feel like deleting the other directory and sources).

Follow the README.CVS file's instructions (or the WIKI page) regarding the two CVS commands you need to invoke.
They will create a new subdirectory "xastir" underneath where you are sitting in your shell.  Then:

     cd xastir
     ./bootstrap.sh
     ./configure
     make
     sudo make install

And you're done!

Any time you want to snag the latest:

     cvs update

If any files get updated, follow the bootstrap, etc steps above to compile and install the new version.
