I managed to install version 1.1.3 on Fedora 17 as an update package,
but at first I had some trouble with it.  So I tried to install the
tarball for 1.1.4, but I never succeeded because I couldn't find
everything it needed.  I got most of what it needed, but I can't
remember where it failed.

Fortunately, my problems with version 1.1.3 eventually resolved, and I
am using that.  Otherwise I might have been in trouble because, once I
had upgraded to 11.3, there didn't seem to be a way to go back to my
previous version, 1.1.1.

I plan to upgrade to Fedora 18 fairly soon.  which version of darktable
will I get with that?
