Y'all:
I finally successfully brought up a Fedora VM.
General warning: Do NOT install LXDE - it will trash your ability to
highlight text or copy/paste. XFCE is fine.
Anyway, I tried multiple times to compile and run:
Sword - worked fine as a test - there is a current rpm.
Bibletime - could not compile - rpm is still version 2
Xiphos - Could compile, had to copy *.so in order to run, acted
strangely and did not show all modules. - rpm is still version 4.1
This is NOT a call for assistance. I will await suitable rpm files from
any source. Monkeying around with that which is over my head is a waste
of everybody's time, mine and yours.
Many thanks.
Tom

The repositories do not contain the latest versions. For example, the
Debian Buster repository presents Xiphos 4.1, not the latest 4.2.
I was a long time Debian user, I switched to Fedora for that reason.
On Fedora, (many thanks to Greg) you have all the latest
frontend/backend software, and tools/bindings you need for building
your own modules and so on. Boring time spent trying to build
xiphos/sword/whateverelse from scratch is history.
I don't have any regrets. IMHO Every serious Crosswire user should run
Fedora.
