If you go here:

http://www.os-cillation.com/article.php?sid=42

You will find great installers for the latest release candidates for
Xfce 4.2 and the associated Goodies applets. That is the easiest way to
install them.

In order to compile the panel applets from source, you need to have the
Xfce4 panel source and header files available, which is likely why you
are having problems.

If you can wait a few days, there was just a post to the Xfce list by
Olivier Fourdan regarding the possibility of releasing 4.2 RC3 this
weekend, which might be the last RC before 4.2 final.

If not, go ahead and use the RC2 installers. It has been very stable.

I have been running Xfce since the RH 9 days and love it. I moved to the
CVS version of 4.2 earlier this year and it has been great.

HTH,
