After installation of eeeXubuntu on the ASUS eeePc, I wanted to install the latest version of Xfce, which is 4.4.2. I used the graphical installer from the Xfce.org website. For the most part, I followed the documentation. I didn’t have to install gcc and cpp, as I already had the newest releases. And the document doesn’t mention libxml2-dev libvte-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libhal-storage-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libjpeg62-dev, but when I started the installation, I found I needed to install these as well.
