After some digging I found just that (what you posted).
Hence I went back to CentOS.
Mostly a windows guy but this is why linux has never gained mass market share. Bottom line installing various pkgs. can be a long haul. The avg user will never understand how to sort through the miles of old files when looking for a specific tar or rpm.
Result....i use linux for phone systems only and never will use them for anything else.
Just a suggestion but I would put on the site that fop2 DOES NOT WORK on Fedora or systems running DEBUGGING perl.
Although I got this to work finally after many hours. Perl then failed in other areas. So like I said I felt like a fighter pilot headed for the ground hearing "eject....eject....eject..." from the cockpit so I did just that and went to CentOS.
Again I'm not a full-time linux guy my knowlege is somewhere between intermediate - expert, so keep that in mind. Someone else might find this not to be such an issue. If that is the case I'm sure Nick would love for you to post a detailed how to.
Oh one last thing fop2 absolutely rocks. I just scrapped an entire install just so I could use it. It is well worth your 40 dollars. I don't even need the extra exten. (more than 15) and I'm going to buy a couple copies just because I value the work![/color:logf9ihg]
