    On SuSE 8.1 Pro, I have successfully built gMFSK from sources.

    Download and install fftw-2.1.5 first.
    You'll need to ./configure and make it twice.
    The second time with './configure --enable-float' in order to get the
    single-precision libraries. If you don't do this, gMFSK won't compile.

    Secondly, install hamlib, if you have a rig capable of being
    computer-controlled.

    Next, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add the line:
    /usr/local/lib
    ...if not already there. Then, refresh the linker cache with;
    ldconfig so the linker knows about the newly installed fftw
    and hamlib libraries.

    Lastly, install gMFSK. I use version 0.5, but I have installed
    0.6beta1 on a Mandrake 9.0 box.

    I don't have it, and gMFSK works fine.
    I guess it uses:
    /opt/gnome2/lib/libgnomecanvas-2.so
    ...which is in the libgnomecanvas RPM that came with the SuSE 8.1 CDs.

    As an aside, for user software, I avoid RPMs like the plague.

    They are great for installing stuff off the CDs, but, for 3rd party
    software, they are not worth the hassle unless it is an RPM that was
    built for your particular distribution and version.

    Hope this helps.
