Well, this usually happens when you run autogen.sh with older autotools
(libtool, automake, autoconf). 

I had this report earlier from someone using the update-xfce script.
Jaime, does update-xfce run autogen.sh?

Manualy compiling a fresh checkout with using just 

  ./configure --prefix=<...> && make && make install

should work. Let me know if it doesn't.
