Note that there's no need to build from source in this case - you can get
backported Debian packages of recent 1.0.x from backports.org.

You are probably running the xapian-compact from 1.0.21 with libxapian from
an older version - the xapian-* tools make use of some private symbols
outside of the stable ABI, so need to be run with libxapian from the same
version of xapian-core.

What does this report:

which xapian-compact
ldd `which xapian-compact`

Did you specify any --prefix when configuring xapian-core?
