I don't know about recent Red Hat or SuSE systems. Someone else may be able to answer more directly for those. On my Debian system, given a working OpenHPI install, I was able to: apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev and then hpiview could be configured and compiled. Debian's package management system took care of the rest of the dependencies. Having said all that, let me warn you that hpiview has had no maintenance for years. When I ran the copy I just compiled, it segfaulted pretty quickly. If you're interested in it, please consider bringing it up to date and submitting patches. I do know that about 1.5 years ago, it was functional, so there may be just a few things wrong with it right now.
