hmm, I don't want to be rude, but if you don't know what the above
means, you have to ask yourself if you really want to be doing this ...

Anyway, the program that didn't compile was the panel, which is in
xfce-devel/xfce4/. The <...> in my example was meant to be replaced with
the prefix you are installing to.

~/xfce-devel/xfce4# ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install

The above will install to /usr. Just using ./configure without the
option will install to /usr/local.
