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:

sudo yum install intltool nspr-devel expat-devel ncurses-devel docbook-style-xsl \
libxml2-devel glib2-devel gettext-devel gtk2-devel gtk-doc \
darcs gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel \
fribidi fribidi-devel enchant enchant-devel \
libxslt-devel libxslt-python GConf2-devel libgsf-devel \
xorg-x11-server-Xephyr \
git (perhaps ppc only - ufg, think it may be required on i386 also, will test)

[Edit: you need sqlite and sqlite-devel too]

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