Having just preupgraded from Fedora 15, I set about installing ROS all over again. Fortunately, unlike the previous time, I had much fewer issues getting to the point of building gazebo. I had to build assimp, and that was it.
Build first failed due to fltk issues

Build of Gazebo failed
UPDATE 1 : This seems to be some issue with the updating of fltk as per this. However, looking at the x.h header from the Fl include directory, and comparing, I tried this (Sensible) patch. In ros/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/build/gazebo/server/rendering/OgreCreator.cc
-- win = OgreCreator::CreateWindow( fl_display, fl_visual->screen,
(int32_t)(Fl_X::i(flWindow)->xid), width, height);
++ win = OgreCreator::CreateWindow( fl_display, fl_visual->screen,
(int32_t)(fl_xid(flWindow)), width, height);
This resulted in the build process continuing further, with the following error

Any dice?
UPDATE 2: I just went ahead and commented(!) out the relevant portion in the offending library header file. The build proceeded further. However this seems to suggest that the relevant flags need to be set. What's that about?
Gazebo built, but then a roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch gave another error

I just checked - I have boost-devel-1.47. Why is it requiring 1.46? :S
Update 3: I cleaned all hte build directories, and when I attempted to build gazebo_worlds, build of cminpack failed as the md5 sum of the downloaded tarball didn't match the offical md5. Replacing it by the official tarball gave me this huge boost error subsequently along the build process

Possible clone of this? Bad news :S

I don't know enough rosdep internals to answer that. Probably, this is a bug and you should open a ticket to get it fixed: https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/newticket
Comment by ICodeRaven on 2012-01-17:
My install does definitely identify as 'fedora'. Could the fact that I have preupgraded be an issue? I don't remember what version of Boost I had on 15, but it could very well be 1.46 :S
Comment by joq on 2012-01-16:
If your install is correctly identifying fedora, then it should resolve to boost-devel (see ros/rosdep.yaml). Boost 1.46 is the Ubuntu Oneiric version, so maybe the OS identification has gone wrong somehow.
Comment by ICodeRaven on 2012-01-16:
Will sym-linking the required files to the new versions be a good thing to do? I'm trying to avoid that here.
