I'm afraid I need some guidance from someone with more linux experience than
I have.  When I try to install from RPM I get the error below.  I've been
running hobbit since at least beta4, so I think I should have all the
required libraries installed.  I'm running Fedora Core 3, and I've installed
all of the required packages w/ yum.   When I build hobbit, it finds all of
the libraries fine.

# rpm -i hobbit-4.0RC6-4.i586.rpm

It seems my Mandrake names libraries slightly different that what your
Fedora does - I kind of expected this to happen. Could you try
fetching the source RPM package (the one with .src.rpm extension) and
rebuilding it into a binary package on your system ? It should be as
simple as running

    rpmbuild --rebuild hobbit-4.0RC6-4.src.rpm

and after a while it should generate an installable hobbit*.i386.rpm
in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
