Thanks, for the suggestion. I just got around to trying it out. And it 
still doesn't work.
1. ./autogen.sh configure.ac ......... ends with error "checking build 
system type... Invalid configuration `configure.ac': machine 
`configure.ac' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub configure.ac failed
" but creates the configure file
2. ./configure now runs and shows dependency errors. "checking for 
DRIVEL... configure: error: Package requirements (
    glib-2.0 >= 2.16.6
    gmodule-2.0 >= 2.16.6
    gtk+-2.0 >= 2.16.5
    gconf-2.0 >= 2.0.0
    gnome-vfs-2.0 >= 2.6.0
    gtksourceview-2.0 >= 2.2.2
    libsoup-2.4 >= 2.4.1
    libxml-2.0 >= 2.4.0
    dbus-glib-1
) were not met:
"

Part of the problem is with Fedora11.
Seems they don't support libgtksourceview2.0 ,  dbus-glib-2.4.0 and a 
few others.. atleast not for the x86_64 version..
So I now either wait or download and build them from source..
Will see how much time i can spare for this and try out.. and update.

Thanks...
