After extracting the package, you will get a TAR file ( xfce-4.2.3.2-src.tar). You need
to extract this file as well!! Run the following command from the Terminal Window:
$ tar xvf xfce-4.2.3.2-src.tar
This will extact the file. Issue the following commands to compile & install it.
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
