Just a thought.  Instead of compiling from source, have you tried downloading the 
fedora src file from samba.org and doing a "rpmbuild --rebuild"?  That is the way I 
do it since it seems easier to me.  The resulting rpm file is clever enough to move 
your samba files from redhat's locations (/var/cache/samba) to the default ones 
(/var/lib/samba).  It will also tell you if you need additional packages installed in 
order to compile.
