I run Fedora 8. You won't want to use Fedora's packages, as tempting as it is. Why? Because developing Kopete in trunk against a 4.0.x will cause you problems and you will end up having to follow SVN trunk anyways. It's not because Fedora's packages are bad. :) You will have to manually compile stuff. Learn how to use kdesvn-build. Once you get everything built manually the first time, kdesvn-build will do the heavy lifting for you, since it's a lovely automatic build script. So, basically, the idea goes like this: checkout qt-copy from trunk do the configure thing, and install any missing dependencies (you can get these from YUM repos) run a 'make' on qt-copy after the deps are installed. repeat the above four steps for kdelibs, kdepimlibs, and kdebase, and kdenetwork. There is of course, a bit more to it, and techbase.kde.org is a valuable resource. If you want a more Fedora 8 specific set up though, please feel free to email and I'll help as best as I can.
