You will need some packages from the Fedora Core repositories.
You can download the [[Sugar]] environment from here http://hg.fedoraproject.org/hg/olpc/applications/sugar--devel


Step 2: Follow the build instructions for [[Sugar with sugar-jhbuild|sugar-jhbuild]].
Or you can use yum, as root, to install them:

The preferred method for building Sugar is to build from sources using sugar-jhbuild, as dependencies continue to change. A full build using sugar-jhbuild will require about 3 Gig of disk space.

Step 1: Make sure that all build tools are installed.

Carry out these three steps before installing the packages below.

sudo yum -y update
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum groupinstall "X Software Development"

(LeJames, 2007/03/03) found that he needed the following packages in addition to the ones above:

libxml2-devel glib2-devel gettext-devel gtk2-devel gtk-doc \

fribidi fribidi-devel enchant enchant-devel \
libxslt-devel libxslt-python GConf2-devel libgsf-devel \

Step 2: Follow the build instructions for sugar-jhbuild.
