My logs shows
checking for shmat... yes
checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes
checking QTDIR... /usr
checking Qt includes... /usr/include
checking for moc-qt4... /usr/bin/moc-qt4
and it used qt-4.4.1-2.fc10, qt-x11-4.4.1-2.fc10 and
qt-devel-4.4.1-2.fc10
I think you need to make sure there is no qt3-devel around anymore
(e.g. a chroot build ensures this), because it seems to set the QTDIR
var for QT3 usage.
In short: Please uninstall the qt3-devel package and try again.

Hi,
I packaged up italc for Fedora, the review waiting for a reviewer is
here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459065
I think italc is a nice addition to any k12/ltsp/edu spin used in
classrooms (as opposed to single user oriented edu spins).
There are some nice patches by Ubuntu made to make italc blend better
into an LTSP framework using avahi for autodetection and similar
niceties, but I'd like to stay closer to upstream at least with the
first package iteration. Upstream seems also to nicely accept patches,
so most probably some kind of autodetection will make it into one of
the next releases.
If you want to test the bits w/o rebuilding yourself (but the build is
really harmless), then the binary packages can be found at ATrpms:
http://atrpms.net/name/italc/
There is even a RHEL5 binary package, if you need it.
But I'd prefer if you would rebuild yourself, rpmlint it, shake it
well, ponder the Fedora packaging/review guidelines on it and stamp an
approval for it making it into Fedora :)
(requires you to be a reviewer in Fedora, but most of us probably are)
I saw that there was also another italc packaging suggestion based on
a SuSE package made some weeks ago, I had a look at the specfile in
case there was something to use for Fedora, but SuSE and Fedora are
really quite different in their packaging style. :(

Hi all,

Thanks to Jordan and Rex for attending!
We've now also an IRC channel - come in and join us on #fedora-edu on
Freenode.
By the way: Expect some new announcements soonish...
