Hi, a bit off topic, but I suspect you are going to have a really hard time to get latest sugar working on Fedora 15. sugar-jhbuild hasn't been updated in a while and, well, to complete the migration to gtk3/introspection we had to use cutting edge versions of the GNOME modules which are not even packaged in a stable Fedora.
My suggestion would be to upgrade to Fedora 17 and use packages (it won't be sugar 0.98, but it will be gtk3). Or install Fedora 17/Ubuntu 12.10 and use sugar-build. Note that old activities shouldn't break when you install a recent sugar, we kept the gtk2 toolkit for compatibility.
