Hi, Obviously you're quite new in compiling software yourself. It is normal for a software to require the devel version of the packages it will use when compiling. After the compilation success it is safe to remove all those packages (e.g. libebook-devel) and keeping the runtime version (e.g. libebook). It is just the way it works...
