Problems installing pyxfce

Hello,

I am trying to install pyxfce on Xubuntu 11.10 (XFCE 4.8)

While running ./configure the error returns:

checking for libxfcegui4-1.0 >= 4.3.90... not found
*** The required package libxfcegui4-1.0 was not found on your system.
*** Please install libxfcegui4-1.0 (atleast version 4.3.90) or adjust
*** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
*** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that
*** pkg-config is able to find it.

I first made sure the package was installed with:

sudo apt-get install libxfcegui*

Then I found out where all the pkgconfig paths are:

find /usr -name "pkgconfig"

Then I passed the output to the path variable and exported it:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/share/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Running ./configure again however, didn't go any better.

What am I missing here?

Thanks

Re: Problems installing pyxfce

Do you have /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libxfcegui4-1.0.pc?

Re: Problems installing pyxfce

Nope sad

I merely have:

benjamin@xubuntu:~$ find /usr -name "*.pc" | grep libxfce
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libxfce4util-1.0.pc

Edit:
OK, somehow the following did not install the libxfcegui4 series:

sudo apt-get install libxfce*

Now I installed it and ./configuration is asking for libxfce4menu-0.1, which apt-cache search does not return neutral

After some research it appears libxfce4menu-0.1 is deprecated and replaced by libxfce4utils and garcon. Will the installation of pyxfce work at all then?
