A trivial 5 line script to download, compile and install SWORD svn head onto a bare Fedora 11 machine (installed from the netinst .ISO -- a pretty minimal install!), which expects that you have already set up sudo appropriately, is enclosed. It works on Fedora 10 also, though I did not test it on a really minimal install of Fedora 10 (somehow my default text mode Fedora 10 install installed over 1000 packages, compared to just 182 for Fedora 11). Is it worth putting some basic info on how to download and compile/install SWORD from source on various Linux distributions on the wiki? BTW, a similar script using wget to grab (and tar to unpack) the sword 1.6.0 tarball, instead of using svn, fails on Fedora 11! I think because of some missing header issues. More details on that later, if I remember :) Jonathan
