Downloaded and extracted the 2012-04-28 23:26 fat_tarballs build for xfce 4.10 (http://archive.xfce.org/xfce/4.10/fat_tarballs/xfce-4.10.tar.bz2). Installing libxfe4util fails because it tries to CC a libxfce4util.la file that doesn't exist. Needless to say, because libxfce4util is the first step in installing xfce 4.10, the entire installation fails.
