Randy,

Thanks for your comments. Just for confirmation on your second point,
you are suggesting that I use:

# SET REQUIRED PKG_CONFIG DIRECTORIES
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:${cvs_dir}/xfce4-panel/panel
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:${cvs_dir}/libxfcegui4/libxfcegui4
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:${cvs_dir}/libxfce4util/libxfce4util
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:${cvs_dir}/libxfce4mcs/libxfce4mcs
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:${cvs_dir}/xfce-mcs-manager/xfce-mcs-manager
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:${cvs_dir}/xffm/src
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:${cvs_dir}/xfce4-session/xfce4-session
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

where the /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig line is the last, rather than the
first?

In my case, I do not have 4.0.6 installed. I removed all xfce related
RPMS before installing the cvs version. The first time around, I built
xfce4 cvs under GNOME.

That being said, the above sequence makes sense, presuming that there
may be a change in the cvs pc files, which seems a reasonable
possibility.

Thanks.

Marc
