Hi Steven,

As I believe is described earlier in this bug report, the Fedora RPM includes
all possible external dependencies needed for every included test. Personally I
find this to be a bit much and prefer to just install the dependencies as
needed (PTS can handle that internally), but that was the Fedora packaging
choice. With that said, as long as the php-cli package is installed, the Fedora
RPM should be able to be forced without any issues.

Unfortunately, one of the packages still not found in Fedora is php-gtk, which
provides GTK support for PHP. This is needed by the GUI (the version of PTS you
are using just emits a fatal error though, in newer versions it makes this
clear). Your options here would be to either build PHP GTK from source
(http://gtk.php.net/) or to find a third-party RPM for it somewhere. Hopefully
php-gtk will get packaged up for Fedora / EPEL soon...

Running it from the command-line interface should work just fine. If you
encounter any problems, try either 2.2.0 or a 2.4 snapshot ideally, as new
features and test profiles are quick to be pushed in :)
