On Sun, Jan 05, 2020 at 08:37:13PM -0500, we recorded a bogon-computron collision of the <domwrx at gmail.com> flavor, containing:
> I found if installing from the tar.gz file download, I am able to run the

Tarball packages of Xastir always have bootstrap pre-run on them, so there is
a configure script. Only git clones off of the master branch require bootstrap.
> checking for Motif headers... configure: error: **** NO MOTIF HEADERS FOUND

This means you are lacking the required motif headers. They must be installed
for configure to produce a makefile. The message you get above means
that configure failed, which is why make didn't work afterwards.
Please review the "Start installing packages" step of http://xastir.org/index.php/HowTo:Ubuntu_14.04-17.04
which should apply to all of your Xubuntu and Raspbian builds, even
though it claims only to apply to earlier versions of Ubuntu. In it,
it tells you to install a lot of packages using apt-get. If those were
installed, you would not be getting the message above.
At each step, you must watch to make sure that the step you've taken actually
worked, and did not emit error messages. It is pointless to keep going through
the steps if an earlier one failed.
To summarize the required pre-installs shown in that wiki page:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install git autoconf automake xorg-dev graphicsmagick gv libmotif-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install gpsman gpsmanshp libpcre3-dev libproj-dev libdb5.3-dev python-dev libax25-dev
sudo apt-get install shapelib libshp-dev festival festival-dev libgeotiff-dev libgraphicsmagick1-dev
sudo apt-get install libwebp-dev
sudo apt-get install xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi
Your messages so far indicate that at least some of these must not have been
done, or had failed and you didn't correct the problem. Note that autoconf
and automake appear on the second one, as do libmotif-dev (which contain
the motif headers that your configure attempt is not finding).
Once you'ge got all those apt-gets run (with no error messages), bootstrap
and configure should actually work for you.
