Have you tried official binaries for Fedora 15?

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

I assume they work but we've been warned not to trust any binaries by the developers ... so ... the question really is has anyone actually built 0.3.24 on fedora 15 and what were the issues?

Seems like every release throws up some more fun for RH derivative systems, can't really say it is stabilising.

I have built 0.3.24 on CentOS 5.5 which should be based on the same RHEL version as Fedora 15 (I am sure there must be differences though).

As noted by the PDF directions, you have to build the dependencies yourself:

* Boost
* OpenSSL
* BerkeleyDB

Only then will bitcoind build properly. The makefile that pent posted looks correct to me; make sure you use tabs there, not spaces.

I did not try to build the bitcoin gui. No need, all I cared about was bitcoind. For the GUI I use Windows so I can use the distribution available at bitcoin.org.

Take the RPM Package from this location:
http://blog.shade.sh/

wget http://files.shade.sh/bitcoin-20110628-git.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i bitcoin-20110628-git.x86_64.rpm

Couldn't be more easy

This works, with one exception - I would not recommend using the CVS Trunk to build bitcoind. Two reasons:

1. It contains code that may or may not have been completed tested/vetted yet - you're on your own if you find issues or instabilities.
2. You won't be able to pull in patches that people post because code tends to move around from version to version.

Just use the current release and everything else should work fine.
