<WHACK>

Otherwise you can always download the RPM and install that...personally I prefer not to do something like that

One of the things that I've found out about with Mandrake is that you're
going to want to have as many of the GTK related dev RPM's loaded - and
as well, I also found that by including particular lib paths in my
/etc/ld.so.conf and re-running ldconfig made for better compiling all
around - here's what my /etc/ld.so.conf looks  like:

/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/lib/xfce4
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/qt3/lib
/usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.0/post
/usr/lib/wine
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.3
/usr/local/netscape
/usr/lib/evolution/1.3
/usr/lib/kde3
/usr/java/lib

...and since then, all's been relatively happy...

But I was lucky enough to not have to compile XFCE4 as one of the list
members kindly built a set of RPM's for it! (Yeah, I'm lazy)

http://clevername.homeip.net/xfce4/

...that made it all the more easy...
