[Xastir] newbie... problems with compiling from source

Bootstrap.sh does NOT create Makefile.am, it USES Makefile.am as input.  It 
should create Makefile.in and configure, among other things.

Did it create "configure" in the current directory, or were there errors from 
bootstrap?

It sounds like bootstrap didn't work, because bootstrap is supposed to create
configure in the Xastir source tree.  Could you post the output of bootstrap.sh
and perhaps the output of "ls -lrt" in the top-level Xastir directory?
