Problem:

How to build vidalia from source at FC6 ?

Solution:

Ignore the INSTALL file, apparently it’s outdated and qt is no longer the same they link there, you can install all the needed packs from yum:

yum install qt4 qt4-dev* nas tor privoxy qt cmake

Then it’s just build from source:

cd /path/to/vidalia-src

cmake .;make;make install

done!

Source:

Vidalia Project Trac

Extra:

For me, tor didn’t worked at all it kept connecting forever and couldn’t build a node list, i figured out that the latest tor engine for fc6 installed by yum was 0.1.x which didn’t work with the actual network anymore, so i had install tor 0.2.x from the source, after that it almost connected, tor kept building a nodelist forever, so i checked the message log and figured out that the machine clock was wrong, in order to fix that, i had to sync it using ntp.
