In addition to runtime packages, you also need development packages.
I think these are usually called -dev (e.g. shapelib-dev).

If you _installed_ graphicsmagick (or any other package) in your home
directory, you will need to inform xastir about the non-standard
location.

Take a look at the ubuntu howto:

http://xastir.org/index.php/HowTo:Ubuntu_14.04-16.04

I think I followed these instructions (starting at "preparing the
system") pretty much exactly to build on my pi.  I do not recall
building any support packages from source - all libraries were
available in the raspbian distribution.
