Hi,

I did not have to link anything for the plugins to work.
I used ./configure --prefix=/usr && make  on everything I compiled.
So, my plugins are in
/usr/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins  and,
/usr/lib/xfce4/mcs-plugins
If you used ./configure && make
Look in
/usr/local/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins
/usr/local/lib/xfce4/mcs-plugins

Maybe make the directories you don't have and copy the plugins to the new
directories. Maybe this is what you are trying to do with the links?
