It's because your xastir config file is left over from when you were using
the package-installed version.  Now that you're using a source-built version,
all the paths in that file are wrong.

You can either hand-edit .xastir/config/xastir.cnf to fix all the broken
paths (there will be many), replacing "/usr/share" with "/usr/local/share",
or you can just blow away your .xastir/config/xastir.cnf file and start
configuring xastir from scratch.  If you don't have a lot of custom 
configuration set, the second could be easier.
