When I run configure I get this:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1.0) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation!

That's fine, obviously I am missing a dependancy. But try as I might I can't work out what .rpm I am missing from the Fedora distribution to make Celestia compile.

Fixed it. It had nothing to do with the need to load in qt-mt, I had an incorrect LDFLAGS enviroment variable. Although I put my hands up and say I had it wrong, it wasn't helped by a misleading error message.

Spoke too soon. It configures OK, but doesn't compile:

This is a good post about the problem in redhat 9; and it may help with fedora:

I looked there but I could only see reference to the QT build problem which I have already fixed (see earlier reply to myself).

Where does it talk about clipsefinderdlgbase?

The tarball you're using is missing some kde related files.

You can get a complete tarball here.

That fixed it thanks.

For the record I had to do this to get celestia to configure on FC1:

LDFLAGS=-s CC=cc CFLAGS="-O2 -Wuninitialized -Wall -pipe -mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -ffast-math -msse2" ./configure --with-kde --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt-3.1
