I think the phrase "Fedora Community" was invented as an excuse to be able to

I tried to build mplayer from source rpm.
mplayer-1.0-0.117.20100703svn.fc13.src.rpm
The build seems to die at the last step of linking all
the objects to produce the binary mplayer.
The failure is:
/usr/bin/ld: osdep/getch2.o: undefined reference to symbol 'tgetnum'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'tgetnum'
I compiled a custom kernel in F14 using the Fedora source RPM, and
created a custom initramfs for it using dracut. It boots, and X tries
to load nouveau, but it fails and falls back to VESA. Here is the
pertinent section from Xorg.0.log while it was booting.
44.002] (II) NOUVEAU driver
[44.
There is a good reason that the rpms are fc14.rpm etc. It stands for Fedora
Community.
None the less it is Fedora 14 not Fedora Core 14 that is the distribution
name.
