Eugene - Welcome. We're delighted you're joining us.

There are a couple of resources you should check out for more information
on the necessary tools.
The GDP Handbook has a section addressing the issue:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/handbook/gdp-handbook/gettingstarted.html

Also, toolmeister David Mason has put together a helpful we page with
links to some packages he has built to make installation of the kit
easier.

http://people.redhat.com/dcm/software.html

You'll also often find a helpful group of experts hanging out on IRC is
you run into problems (we all seem to have run into problems doing what
you're now doing, setting up the tools the first time :)
#docs at irc.gnome.org

Good luck,
