There are no errors in the log, so can you post the exact warning? You can also try to uninstall the old version and then install a fresh one.

I posted the exact contents of the log. The crucial error messages are:
Checking for GLib (GModule) >= 2.6.0... not found, see /home/jerryb1/.xfce4.installer-log for details
and from the log:
!! Please install GLib 2.6.0 or above and the GLib development files. It is
!! important that you install GModule, which is part of GLib as well. GLib
!! can be downloaded from http://www.gtk.org/.
BTW this is the first time I have attempted to install xfce on this particular machine

Mm missed that, well do you have the gtk and gtk-devel package?
Offline
I have gtk, but not gtk-devel since it isn't listed in the dependencies at
Offline
Well you need the devel package when you compile the desktop environment, you need ALL the devel packages from the packages on the requirements page, because else pkg-config can't find it...
