​"make install" issued either manually or via the script will install the
OSM map geo files in ​"/usr/local/share/xastir/maps/Online".  Is that where
you deleted them from (and where you were expecting them to be reinstalled
by the script)?  If you were running either an older version of Xastir or a
binary version previously, the map files would have been installed
previously in a different location.  If that's the case you may have a
leftover configuration file pointing to the wrong location for the map
files.

If you issue...
cat ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf | grep /usr

The result below is what's expected.  If the paths to those locations are
different in your case, you have an old xastir.cnf file that needs to be
updated.  If that's the case you can edit the ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf
file and change the paths to match what is shown below, or you can simply
delete the file and let Xastir create a new one.  In that case you would
have to re-configure your station settings, etc.
