Yes, it fails due to the compilation missing symbols.
C.f. lines 221-300 of your build.log You'll see plenty of "implict decl" warnings and "undefined reference" errors.
Seems to me as if this package requires a newer version of gtk than it is provided with F20, ie. you are facing an incompatibility.
I don't know if this package is supposed to be buildable on F20 or not.
If it is, upstream should handle this gtk incompatibility gracefully. If not, the rpm-spec should carry a BR: > <something> and refuse to build.

Sorry to respond to myself, but just wanted to point you to Fedora copr[1]. I think it is a fantastic build service. I have been using it for a few of my private packages for a few months, works great. Note that you can only use it for things that Fedora is able to distribute: so no RPMFusion packages.
Cheers,

You are using "-- " to separate your response from the quote above. Please try not to do that, many email clients (specially the historic ones), treat that string as a marker for the signature. Some people might have setups where signatures are stripped; in my case, they are shown in a different colour so that I am not distracted by long sigs. Because of your use of that string, all your messages were appearing empty to me. Just sharing my thought, maybe you want to use a different string.

Hi Suvayu, and anybody else who cares - assuming that Suvayu cares - about the issue:
This is originally how this server has set the return mail as; I can possibly talk to the university computer people about fixing the program so that I can have the option of bottom-post correctly, such that it is readable. I switched from Gmail because, as I stated a few weeks ago, I no longer like Google using my information - without, at lest, paying me for it. I will talk to them on after the weekend about making it easier to read, and it will not be fixed in a day; maybe a week; maybe a month - possibly more than a month; institutions tend to move at the speed of a tortoise.
If anyone knows of an email server I can use until I get a break, can find and read my Linux books on setting up an old Pentium Celeron box that at the moment has Microsoft's shit on it with a mail server, or can pick a Linux server up, that allows me to bottom-post it would be a big help. Else I may have to continue appoligising until I find a solution. Back when I was just learning Linux, had I paid more attention to mail-servers - knowledge I didn't need at the time - I might be able to put that knowledge to good use today beside the political science degree I am pursuing.
Perhaps I can find someone to assist me in turning my box - as opposed to the folding computer I am using - into a mail-server.

If you want an external server, then fastmail.fm has free IMAP accounts (or did, and may have cheap ones, now), and some countries Yahoo.com has free POP3.
If you want to run your own server, then you can use any mail service that lets you access it with something like POP or IMAP. You'd use something like fetchmail to drag mail from an external mail server, and use your own local mail server running on your computer.
That's just two approaches.
If you're happy with usenet (news groups), you can access this list through the gmane news group server.

I didn't realise you are from SFU until you mentioned your university! I used to be a student there too, so I happen to be familiar with their email system. As far as I know they use Zimbra. I think you are using the web-interface. In the configuration you can set the quoting style. See the 3rd last bullet under "Composing":
http://www.zimbra.com/desktop/help/en_US/Userspecific/z-Setting_your_Desktop_Preferences.htm
Following this, you can easily do interspersed quoted replies.

I'm bottom-posting this from Gmail. Also, I don't know of any mail server that would mess with replies to the extent of enforcing top-posting. Some email *clients* do, especially on phones, but that's a different issue.

good question.
tho i really do not know why you are pushing an issue.
all i did was select "Reply to sender an all recipients" icon and for some reason thunderbird decided to trim "Subject:". first time i am aware of it happening.

i have never posted online with gmail, so i really do not know how gmail works online.
anyway "Suvayu" gave him a reply that will/should/may/might work.
have a merry new year.
The problem with bottom-posting on this server is that when I send, it is hard for some, perhaps everyone, to know where the quoted message stops and my contribution begins. If you go to the bottom of this email you will see that your contribution is not "quoted" as such, and - especially if the same font were used - you can't really tell without paying really close attention to the "--" where the exchange starts.
I recently quit Gmail because I got sick of that they read your email AND they treat users as products rather than citizens, selling your information that you freely give them without offering you anything for it. I started becoming very aware about my data when the CBC program Spark told me about Joindiaspora.com and then a cell phone concept, both concepts that give the user her data to do with what she wants .

Once again, I strongly doubt that this is being caused by the server. It's much more likely to be caused by your email client, which I see is the Zimbra web client. Someone else already explained how to change your settings to get bottom-posting. You can no doubt also use alternative clients on the same email server.
I recently quit Gmail because I got sick of that they read your email AND they treat users as products rather than citizens, selling your information that you freely give them without offering you anything for it.
I was under the impression that they gave you a free (and very effective) email service. However this is OT for the list so let's just leave it at that. My point is that your adhesion to the list guidelines is not dependent on which server you use. In particular, you should avoid top-posting and posting in HTML. The guidelines are mentioned at the foot of every message on this list.

Two comments: 1. I think you missed the instruction I was pointing to in my earlier response[1]; I'm quoting it below.
Specify whether to prefix each line with > of | for the previous email messages that are forwarded or replied to, if you chose to quote original text.
If you use the above, level of quotes are easily distinguishable. 2. The signature string is "-- ": that is two dashes, followed by a single space. Without the single space, the special meaning is lost.

Glad it helped. You should still trim your responses though :-p.
I think Zimbra is among the really nice email & collaboration suite web-interfaces out there. Two others I know of are Horde and Kolab. I have used Zimbra and Horde; I like Zimbra better. However I have the impression Kolab is probably the most mature out of the three.

It's the Gmail trap; even though it seems like plain text, it is not. You have to explicitly choose plain text (lower right of the compose window I think). Once you do, then it becomes obvious that it was not plain text before.

A citizen does not, nor ought need to, pay anyone for the rights of the office of citizenship. Slavery is an abolished practice, yet your advertiser has just stated in this quote that slavery is alive and well. Is it not time to rethink this? Treating society as products may be one of the reasons that the Taliban attacked US soil, and destroyed the trade towers in New York. We need to be treated as people, as citizens.

I'm sorry David, that you have neither heard of either courts, or mass demonstrations. If you want to continue living in your pathetic little world where you can't change anything, be my guest.

Been there. I have the tee shirt. The demonstrations will get your butt kicked by the Sturmtruppenwith the batons and the courts belong to the rich. As I said. I grew up.

If we are treating each other as slaves then the cycle of violence will never stop.

When talking about e-mail service, what does thats have to do with the trade-offs when using a "free" service compared to paying for the service? You are just paying for the "free" service with a different coin.

It's the Gmail trap; even though it seems like plain text, it is not. You have to explicitly choose plain text (lower right of the compose window I think). Once you do, then it becomes obvious that it was not plain text before.
Hope this helps,
PS: Your latest response also had an html part.
Hi Suvayu,
A quick check of my previous post shows that it contains the following:
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=001a113393e464269804f051bfd9
--001a113393e464269804f051bfd9 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
etc. etc.
IOW it *was* in plaintext. It did however also have a "Rich Text" alternative part, which presumably is what violates the Guidelines (I don't normally see that since I always set my mail clients to prefer plaintext for reading). I'll have to remember to change that when posting from Gmail. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way to have Plain Text as the default.

Last comment and I am gone Punk. I was involved at Kent State when the troupes murdered the students. I was at Chicago when the police beat the crap out of us with night sticks protesting Vietnam. I got the crap beat out of me for protesting Nixon's lies about Cambodia. I have been arrested many times and beaten while in jail. Many of these times I spent time in hospital.

Who let this Boles guy, who is otherwise afraid to use his surname - at least as part of his display-name, into the building to abuse me? Before anyone goes stating that I was part of such, please remember that he was the one who started abusing my field of study. Had he left it alone, I would not accuse him of a degree in basket weaving. I might ask the moderator to have a serious discussion about the abuse he dished out.

Thank you for your service. Sadly the last time it was actually worthh while was World War II. When there really were enemies and not just monsters from the ID. here is were you look up SIGMUND FREUD .

WTF does you support of service men and women have to do with my research of how states are organised, run, and how citizens are treated? Who the f-ck are you to run ramshot over me just because I know how the courts work? how the police work? the rules of evidence? the rules of political power? Game theory? Prisoners dilemma?

Getting rid of the asshole would be a good start, and enforcing that we treat each other fairly? How does creating a policy stating that sound; one that guides contributors to respect what others do or have done in their lives? respect others as persons not to be abused, but to be cherished as community members with something to contribute? Enforce it by threatening to through them out.
My integrity was attacked; what would you want from an organisation that attacked your integrity through one of its websites/employees/contributors? If Red Hats integrity was attacked what would the company do?

Of course. It's marketed by Google so always has the latest Android version. I'm aware of other MUAs on Android but am not too keen on switching as in other respects the builtin Gmail app is pretty good for what I use.

Tim:
Quoting an advertiser (one who makes them):
"If you're not paying for the service, then you are the product."
Richard Vickery:
A citizen does not, nor ought need to, pay anyone for the rights of the office of citizenship. Slavery is an abolished practice, yet your advertiser has just stated in this quote that slavery is alive and well. Is it not time to rethink this?
I think you've gone way off tangent with the civil rights response. I was just talking about free email services, which aren't offices of government, but business enterprises. I'm not saying it's a good thing, that *you* are the product, I'm just pointing out the circumstances. It's how capitalism works. Just about all of these things exist to make money. There are very few totally altruistic enterprises, and even Red Hat is using us with Fedora for their own purposes. Either they make you pay for the product, or they make someone else pay for it. And to make someone else pay for it, they provide them with a service that satisfies them, too. And how would they do that? By *using* you.
Going even further way off topic, but I don't really think slavery has been abolished, it's just changed. Think about this: Are you self-sufficient, or do you *need* to have a job? Is your land large enough that you can grow all your own food, catch all your own water, or is it so small that you need to do something (work for someone else, usually) to survive. If you can't be totally self-sufficient, and independent, then you're not really free. In this day and age, many of us are slaves to the bank, with near life-long mortgages. And we're slaves to the government, one way or another. We have to have a job to pay for what we need, and to pay for what the government demands from us. A tax on this, a tax on that, for every damn fool thing they want to do, never mind the things that are justifiable and worthy of distributing the cost across the population.
At least I have a massive voice that is listened to at the university.
That statement's just ripe for making jokes with, but I'll let the opportunity pass.

You are not slave to the Government unless you choose to be. You, and everyone in the state (in the global sense, as opposed to the American) controls the government.
I suppose your lines, and lines like it from everyone in the group are why you do computers and why I should hang my hat, quit the group, pursue my projects and let you live your false assumptions about the state and its institutions, and build the operating system without me.

I suggest if not already done so to read from the late Georgetown's university professor, who also taught at Harvard,Princeton and was once a professor to Bill Clinton. Carroll Quigley, Tragedy & Hope: A History of the world in our time.

Let's get the list back on topic please. I see no extenuating cause for the bad language and vitriol being tossed around here.

This is the second or third person to abuse me because of my expertise. If you want to stay on topic, then where I make a contribution where it concerns my expertise, I would appreciate if idiots would defer to my wisdom as I continually state that I know little about the OS!!!!
Do you want my contributions, or not?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. What I quoted above looks like you're saying that people should respect your expertise even though you keep saying that you don't know much about the OS. If, in fact, you don't know much, why would the rest of us take your word for things?

I'm with Neil Peart in that the logical extension of a libertarian is a liberal. The best way to rational self interest is helping your neighbors so they help you.
Translates beautifully to open source work! :D

I marked this thread as moderated to help with that. There are certainly plenty of more appropriate places to have this sort of conversation. And there's plenty of things to discuss here that are on-topic.
Thanks to all to understanding.
