Thanks Neal, sorry to take so long to reply. I updated automake to the 
unstable version, autoconfig and libtools are apparently current.
 
That  did not help. I then ran autogen.sh in libxfce4util and it failed with 
the following error
-----
checking for strlcpy... no
./configure: line 8960: syntax error near unexpected token `GLIB,'
./configure: line 8960: `  PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GLIB, glib-2.0 >= 2.0.0)'

------
I have libc6-dev 2.3.1 installed in a freshly installed system 
also libg2-dev both from testing.
I would very much like to see a list of software with perferred versions 
needed to build the cvs releases. 

Could someone please post here or perhaps on the resource page ?

Ok I delayed this post to try something else. Ran apt-get install lib*-dev 
and got all the -dev versions of all the installed libraries.

I now get the the original missing separator error when make runs on both 
dbh 1.0 and libxfce4gui and xfce4-update now doesn't error out it simply 
prints the help file and quits.

Giving it best  for tonight

Cheers.
