I have a page for SuSE Linux 9.x that might help you. You can skip the 
compiling PIL (python imaging) section.

The section on dependency packages might help in that it identifies all 
the packages (dependency programs) needed. Fedora has a different "break 
down" of the packages, for example I think Fedora (like RedHat) has a 
python package and a separate "python-imaging" RPM that may not be 
installed by default and is needed by Skencil (do a "rpm -q --all | grep 
-i imaging" OR grep -i python to see what you have and the version).

The page can be found here:

Report back to the group if you need more help (I no longer have Fedora 
boxes to work with, so I can only help so much). Also provide  more 
information on your system (what version of python, PIL and so on). 
Hopefully some in the group will have exactly what you need.

Good luck.
