	The "<...>" was a placeholder.  You need to replace that with the
actual path you want to install xfce4 in.  For example, if you wanted to
put it in /usr/local/bin (and associated dirs) you would rin the command
-

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && make install

Or if you wanted to put it in /usr you would use -

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/ && make && make install

The default for configure if you do not specify a --prefix is to use
/usr/local.
