The 1.94 source package (I assume you downloaded the stable version) requires various libraries to be installed before it will compile. The binary has been build for Ubuntu as is, so it is expected to work without installing any additional packages.
http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:Ubuntu_6.10 The link above has a HowTo that should be close to what you need. One suggestion: instead of using apt-get install, use adept or synaptic and search for the packages starting with the section labeled "start installing packages". If you don't find the package using the exact name in the HowTo, use part of the name, and see what it finds. Most of the packages will not be changed, but some may be different. One in particular is libdb4.4-dev, which was already up to libdB4.6-dev in Ubuntu 8.04. It may still be version 4.6 in 8.10, or it could be a newer version The HowTo includes the CVS procedure, but the same packages to any any source code version of Xastir.
