Try with the latest SVN, follow the instructions on the wiki, that is:

install what is required to be installed (rep-dev, gtk-dev and so on):

make distclean # really not required, but who knows?
aclocal
autoconf
./configure --bla-bla
make
make install

If it works then it is definitively a problem with the fedora package.

HTH, regards.
