I followed the instructions http://www.ldraw.org/GetStarted-Linux.html I avoided the rpms (since I didn't know how to handle them...) and choose the latest versions instead of the recommended ones. I think it is better to compile than to use binaries, since the binaries are so old. I had a problem with boost-thread at some stage, but solved that with a symlink. I think I skipped step 3, 7 and 8. I am able to use the 0.75 release of Leocad, except for the piece manager and terrain editor.
