hrmmm...i had an older version of tcsh installed.  Just upgraded to the
version that comes with RH-7.2.  Tried to build xfce from the SRPM again,
and once again it bombed right at the end:

+ /usr/local/lib/rpm/find-lang.sh /var/tmp/xfce-root xfce
+ /usr/local/lib/rpm/brp-compress
+ /usr/local/lib/rpm/brp-strip
+ /usr/local/lib/rpm/brp-strip-comment-note
Processing files: xfce-3.8.16-1
File not found by glob: /var/tmp/xfce-root/usr/local/bin/*
File not found by glob: /var/tmp/xfce-root/usr/local/share/xfce/*
Executing(%doc): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.45810


Any other ideas?
