The package names seem to indicate you have Fedora Core 4.
If it's so, please just install XFce with you favourite
package manager and don't try to compile anything.  The
distro comes with XFce 4.2.2.

RedHat GTK+ package naming is

gtk+ == GTK+ 1.2.x
gtk2 == GTK+ 2.x

They are practically two independent libraries and they can
be installed both.

However, you have to install development (-devel) package of
everything you want to compile programs with, that is
gtk2-devel, etc.

Anything related to GTK+ 1.2 obviously isn't going to
satisfy the condition GTK+ >= 2.2.0...
