I just tested it. I installed F12 from the install DVD, and selected
even less than the default packages. That is, in the package selection
screen shown at

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f12/en-US/html/s 1-pkgselection-x86.html

I deselected the "Office and Productivity" group. I did no other
changes to package selection during installation.

Then, after installing IDL 7.1.1, to get idl and idlde working, I had
to do:

yum install libXp
yum install libXpm

These got idl working, but not idlde. Then:

yum install AdobeReader_enu.i486
yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk.i686

After setting up adobe-linux-i386.repo, obviously. That got idlde to
work. Then to get them to work also on 32 bit mode, I had to do:

yum install libXpm.i686
yum install libXmu.i686
/sbin/restorecon '/opt/itt/idl71/bin/bin.linux.x86/libidl.so.7.1'
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/opt/itt/idl71/bin/bin.linux.x86/libidl.so.
7.1'

That got idl -32 to work. Then, for idlde -32 to work, it was
necessary:

chcon -t execmem_exec_t '/opt/itt/idl71/bin/bin.linux.x86/
idl_opserver'

The libXp, libXpm and libXmu libraries installed just a single package
each. Adobe Reader and Java had a large number of dependencies. I
saved into a file the names of all packages that got installed, and
more details about the error messages at each point. Let me know if
you want to see those.

As I remember, when I did a similar install in another system,
installing Skype from its repository had a similar effect as
installing Adobe Reader.

In addition to adding Tech Tips to the website, once you determine all
libraries that are needed in addition to a default install of the main
distributions, this information should be incorporated into the
install script. That is, it should try to determine which is the
current distribution. Then, it finds the distribution is one of those
it knows, it should test for the presence of the known additional
dependencies, and report the missing ones.

In the case of F12, testing for the distribution can be done looking
for the file /etc/system-release, which contains

Fedora release 12 (Constantine)

And I guess the same is present also on older versions of Fedora (I
know it is in F11). Then, in Fedora systems, simple rpm query commands
can be used to find out if the other libraries are installed.
