I would recommend installing from the source.... RPMS can be a PIA most
of the time!! I run nessus fine from any RH if I compile it from source.
Same with NMAP as well as any other "tool" I may use for any security
testing. I think that Renaud and Crew have made the installer somewhat
"dummyproof" as well, it even has an uninstall script included. It is so
smart it tells you if you need certian packages. Dont get me wrong RPM's
are great if you have to follow dependencies but from what I have found
if you have the disk space and you are a newb you should just install
everything on Fedora, then up2date until you are running most recent
kernel, deactivate uneeded services and then install any "tool": you may
need from its source...... Hope that helps!!

Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
The command 'gtk-config' was not found in your $PATH.
Cheers,
