In short - yes and no - depending on how the configure script was
written/generated.
So, you did not answer Ed's question.
Where did you get the tarball?
And my question, why do you not get the source
rpm from the F15 repos?
If you get the source rpm from the F15 repos, you will be able to do:
rpmbuild -bp gedit.spec
If you have all the necessary deps (as I stated in the previous post),
the command should succeed.
Then, if you want to build using your kludgey and unnecessary
way of manually running
./configure
and make
you will be able to
cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/gedit-{your-version}
and run ./configure and make.
Some packages do not want you to run make this way.
They require that you create an empty build dir and cd into
the build dir and then run
{PATH-TO-GEDIT-SOURCE-DIR}/configure
and then run make in the build dir.
