I run Fedora 8. You won't want to use Fedora's packages, as tempting as it is. 
Why? Because developing Kopete in trunk against a 4.0.x will cause you 
problems and you will end up having to follow SVN trunk anyways. It's not 
because Fedora's packages are bad. :)

You will have to manually compile stuff. Learn how to use kdesvn-build. Once 
you get everything built manually the first time, kdesvn-build will do the 
heavy lifting for you, since it's a lovely automatic build script. 

So, basically, the idea goes like this:

checkout qt-copy from trunk
do the configure thing, and install any missing dependencies (you can get 
these from YUM repos)
run a 'make' on qt-copy after the deps are installed.

repeat the above four steps for kdelibs, kdepimlibs, and kdebase, and 
kdenetwork.

There is of course,  a bit more to it, and techbase.kde.org is a valuable 
resource. If you want a more Fedora 8 specific set up though, please feel free 
to email and I'll help as best as I can.

Thanks
