Problem installing xfce from src tarballs

Hi,

I downloaded the source tarball, untar'ed everything and started the 
install process as indicated in the online documentation:

"Build order:

    1. libxfce4util
    2. libxfcegui4
    3. libxfce4mcs
    4. xfce-mcs-manager
    5. all other modules (you have to install xfce4 panel before 
compiling panel plugins)."

The libxfce4util stuff installed correctly (that is, there were no 
errors.) However, the ./configure of libxfcegui4 aborted giving the 
following error:

"checking for libxfce4util-1.0 >= 4.0.0... 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 >= 4.0.0) not 
met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your 
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them."

Any help resolving this error would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve Cooke.
