installing qgis on fedora core 5

[Daniel Morissette]

FGS is a self-contained environment and the libs that it ships with are 
not expected to be compatible with non-FGS packages such as this qgis RPM.

For this RPM to work, you'll need to find the gdal, geos, proj and other 
dependencies that it was built for. There must be RPMs for those, but I 
just don't see them in a quick browse of the QGIS download site. The 
best place to ask for them would be on the QGIS lists I think.
