Bob,

thanks for your persistence in this.

You will need the "C Development Tools" group, qt-devel lua-devel
libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libX11-devel libXext-devel libXi-devel
libXt-devel
Use yum to install them so any dependencies are pulled in.
(This is problematic - I have about 2400 packages installed on this
machine - so there is a fair chance that there might be other stuff
required.)

What sort of failure happened during testing ?
Did it crash or fail a test case ?
There is also the possibility that there is a problem with the
configuration file.

Cheers
Brenton
