Joe,
you have several choices. If you're installing from RPM it must match your 
system exactly, so using an RPM from a different release or distro will 
likely create serious problems or failure. If you install from source the 
configure check doesn't compensate for the insanity of binary distributions. 
In other words, to save 100MB or so they split off the header files needed to 
compile and don't install them. After all, what user would build from source? 
Especially if they give up easily and never find the world beyond their 
distro...

Get the -dev RPMs for whatever it says is missing. It's common in the binary 
distribution RPMs to assume only a developer needs them, but everybody who 
wants bleeding edge and less mainstream apps does.
