The instructions above are for tarballs, not for RPMs. And together  
with the existing specfiles it should be reasonably easy to produce a  
set of Fedora compatible specs (in fact you only need to strip out  
the generic $(var) stuff in the specfiles and you should be done).

As mentioned again and again OGo is not (yet) ported to 64bit ;-)  
This is probably not a hard task, but needs to be done (and yes you  
are right, those warnings must be fixed for that ;-)

BTW stuff like that (those are the majority of the warnings when  
compiling with gcc 4.1 on 32bit):

  NGLdapAttribute.m:66: warning: pointer type mismatch in  
conditional expression

are in fact harmless. Its due to a small bug in the GCC type checker.
(but there are probably others on 64bit which are problematic)

Thats probably a good idea ;-)
