I have been running XMBC on F10 for a while now. At first, I used some 
fixes & workarounds from some wiki page (not sure where it is anymore), 
but later on it compiled reasonably well straight from their SVN tree.
They have a readme which tells you which packages are necessary and 
config script tells you about some missing packages as well. Their main 
target is ubuntu, but the packages are usually similarly named.

I would recompile a version from SVN. It's not as bad as it sounds ;)
