You shouldn't need to ; just install the -devel RPMs for them that come with Fedora Core 3. You'll need libart, libtiff, and a few others too - they're listed in the 1.3cvs BUILDING file but I haven't got around to building a similar list for 1.2.2cvs yet. > My problem is: how GhostScript, PS2Edit, GSView > (or any software needing ZLib and/or JPEG to configure/ > make/make-install itself properly) are going to find the libraries > that I have configure/make / make-installed in my own home directory > (/home/my-user-name/lib/Zlib, /home/my-user-name/lib/jpeg). Use --with-extra-libs and --with-extra-includes and/or set your CPATH, LIBRARY_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH to include those directories. Pretty sure I documented that in the 1.3 BUILDING file too.

I'd recommend sticking to the stock zlib, libjpeg, etc. They're perfectly good and probably haven't changed much. I've done what you describe when I was running Scribus 1.2.x on Red Hat 8 - it wasn't fun, and I'm *way* happier now that I can run it on a modern system. -- Craig Ringer
