Oh, with my installation it was very complicated. I know that in Ubuntu there is actually a script someone wrote that not only does the entire installation of 2.5 but downloads it from svn. In fedora 8 I had many troubles installing it from GLIB versions conflicting and finding all of the devel and library files. I really enjoy fiddling with linux software though. the process of compiling from source is like an addictive game where the only way you win is if the ./configure command actually gets all the way through so you can make. And the obstacles are like locating the lib files. There are many dangers. But really the problem with 2.5 was that it required all the latest Pango, Cairo, GTK+ and stuff and fedora doesnt have all the latest versions in yum and installing new versions of these files is quite difficult because as you mentioned the paths these afre installed in Fedora are kind of strange, but I like Fedora alot so I use it. I also like using development software, liek I'm using the dvelopmental version of Seamonkey in my Fedora.
