Darn!

Are you using Fedora Core 5?  Because of the large number of crasher and
other bug fixes that went into GNOME 2.14 across a number of GNOME
components, we're now requiring GNOME 2.14, which I think is what comes
with Fedora Core 5.

0.3.10 has needed fixes for the DECtalk and IBMTTS drivers.  If you
don't care about these, then you can use a prior version.

These dependencies are basically (I think) GNOME 2.14 components.  So,
hope things should work fine with Fedora Cora 5.  If this isn't working
for you, let me know and we can start working through this.  The
dependency list is something I'd like to narrow down and simplify (e.g.,
I wish I could give a meta-dependency that encompasses a cluster of
modules).
