I don't see a Fedora Core 2 rpm for 0.7, but there is now an FC3 rpm
for 0.6. You might try to download the spec file for 0.6 that they
have and use it with the SuSE src.rpm to rebuild it. I earlier found
a Mandrake src.rpm and after editing the spec file some was able to
rebuild it for the x86_64 architecture. The rpm didn't work perfectly
(a menu creation macro for post install doesn't work), but NVU seems
to work.
One of the changes I had to make to the spec file was to change the
gkt+2-devel dependency to gtk2-devel, so maybe you are seeing
something similar. On FC3, the packages are called gtk2, and not
gtk+2, which the rpm seems to be expecting.
I may try rebuilding 0.7 with the given FC3 spec file. If I have any
success, I'll let you know.

You're welcome, just remember that --nodeps is not to be used lightly,
only if you *REALLY* know you have the dependencies covered and the
prime suspect could be a badly packaged rpm.
