checking for libxfce4util-1.0 >= 3.99.2...
Package libxfce4util-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxfce4util-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libxfce4util-1.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (libxfce4util-1.0 >= 3.99.2) not
met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

Right, so now we are back to square one. The package cannot find
libxfce4util. So, can you try to find the libxfce4util-1.0.pc file? It
is installed in ${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig/. Do you have it?
If you don't there was a problem with the libxfce4util install. If you
do have it, check the contents and see what the version number is.
If the version number is correct, you have to tell pkg-config where to
look. In bash do 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig'. In
csh it is something like 'setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig'.
If that doesn't work, you're pkg-config is broken ...
