Thanks Brenton,

The answer I was actually looking for is:

$ sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
$ for p in qt-devel lua-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel ; do sudo yum 
install ${p} -y ; done

(seems that libX11-devel libXext-devel libXi-devel libXt-devel are all
covered by the above).

cheers,

Bob Edwards.
