Do you read from bottom to top? In the first line it says it cannot locate
Perl module Digest/MD5.pm, so that's what you should install first.
Package perl-Digest-MD5 (or whatever includes the needed module). You
may search remove package repositories with Yum or repoquery.

I would begin with using the TeX Live that is included with Fedora 17,
install optional packages as needed and don't mix with stuff installed
from source.

# yum list texlive\*|wc -l
