Joep, I compiled multisync .82 on an x86 box running fc6, installed, and successfully synced evo2 with Zaurus opie. There were a couple of speed bumps, first check the ./configure output for both mulitsync AND the plugins. There were several additional packages required. (yum got a good workout) Second, read the README for both plugins and multisync carefully. The plugins are not built automatically, they have to be built separately.
