[Qgis-user] Installing QGIS on CentOS?

[Bob Bruce]

I've developed some python plugins on Windows and wanted to test them on 
Linux before I shared them. My home Linux system is CentOS.

So I tried installing QGIS via the Fedora RPM and found a long list of 
dependencies that had to be installed first.

Is there a way to get the whole environment up and running quickly so 
that I can get on with working with QGIS?

thanks,
             Bob Bruce

The output from the RPM run goes like this:
