I suggest you build the source as follows (assuming you downloaded the source):
sudo yum-builddep -y sylfilter-0.8-1pclos2013.src.rpm
now as non-root:
rpm -ivh sylfilter-0.8-1pclos2013.src.rpm cd { to the SPECS directory }. I assume it will be somewhere in your home dir.
You might want to edit the stylfilter.spec file so that the newly built rpm will be named after your fedora dist release number. Not crucial.
rpmbuild -vvv -bb sylfilter.spec 2>&1 | tee sylfilter.build.out
When it finishes (successfully), it will say what it Wrote (will give full pathname)
If successfull, then
yum localinstall full-path-name-to-the-newly-built-stylfilter.......rpm
Good luck.
Also, I found an old fc18 src rpm:
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home%3A/SeaEagle1/Fedora_18/src/sylfilter-0.8-12.1.src.rpm
Thank you very much! This will be helpful. I will try building an rpm.
Best wishes, Ranjan
