How install XFCE?

"pacman -S XFCE" do not work.
And if I have installed Fluxbox, did need it remove before installing XFCE?

Re: How install XFCE?

try pacman -xfce4 for XFCE version4. Also remember try avoiding caps in the pacman package name. Finally you can try

 pacman -Ss <keyword> 

for searching for a package

And you don't need to remove Fluxbox first.

Re: How install XFCE?

I write:

pacman -S xfce4

Then after some hours instalilng, compuer write in last lines:

randrproto: /usr/include/X11/extensions/randr.h: exists in filesystem
randrproto: /usr/include/X11/extensions/randrproto.h: exists in filesystem
libxrandr: /usr/include/X11/extensions/Xrandr.h: exists in filesystem

errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

That errors be, then I install KDE, Gnome and others Deskop Environments.
How repair this errors?

It's not the prettiest solution, but in this case I think you can use

pacman -Sf xfce4

to bypass the "exists in filesystem" errors.

Because internet slowly and I not want downloading all modules.
And after install modules, that need do that run XFCE4, edit ~/.xinitrc? and that line need put in it, if need it edit?
