[Xastir] Build fails reprise

Could be a multitude of reasons here but Kbuntu is a nitch Ubuntu derivative so you might be better to join a few other mainstream lists for help as well.
For application specific issues, it's always best to join that specific list.. like Xastir.  You're in the right place for help.

No.. there are lots of people but I've personally found that most Ubuntu users are mostly pre-made package installers. Not as many people build
their own stuff.  Of course that's an over generalization but it's more times than not, true.

No.. I don't think so.  The previous issue was to install the require GraphicsMagick packages per my previous message.  Did you do that and then re-run ./configure?

You might want to use "apt-get" as it will show more details and output 
that you easily can cut & paste into email threads for help.
