	I don't know how you found all that other stuff to install. The 
qgis site told me for F11 to do simply "yum install qgis" -- and I did.

	Some of the things above, such as gpsbabel, was already there, of 
course -- I routinely install everything PackageKit can find that has to 
do with GPSs.

	Anyway, I hitched a ride, commanding :

[root at Hbsk2 ~]# yum install blas cfitsio fftw2 gdal geos grass-libs gsl 
hdf5 libdap libgeotiff librx netcdf ogdi proj unixODBC xerces

	That told me all of them were indeed installed, save one : 

No package xerces available.
Nothing to do

	I then tried both "yum whatprovides xerces" and "yum provides 
xerces" -- which both told me : 

Warning: 3.0.x versions of yum would erroneously match against filenames.
 You can use "*/xerces" and/or "*bin/xerces" to get that behaviour
No Matches found

	Both as user, and as root, I still get : 

[btth at Hbsk2 ~]$ qgis
Segmentation fault
[btth at Hbsk2 ~]$

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
