No, the .so filename is correct. You are confusing the package version
(4.7.3) and the libtool version (4.1.1) here. Those are unrelated.

What you probably need is:

  a) add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf by running
     su -c "echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf"

  b) run: su -c "ldconfig

  c) run "export
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
     before you try to compile any of the Xfce components

That should help in finding Xfce components already installed to the
system during configure and make.
