Detailed Fedora Walkthrough
From Ogre Wiki
The purpose of this tutorial is helping you to set up a working OGRE development environnement under Fedora Core 5. Although not extensively tested, OGRE v1.2 - "Dragon" works on both nVIDIA and ATI Radeon hardware running under X.Org 7.0.x with their 3rd party drivers installed.

Enabling 3D support for nVIDIA graphics cards
When enabling support for nVIDIA cards you can go two ways, one is using repositories, the other is compiling the module yourself.
Using repositories
First we set up the repository to provide us with the kernel modules we need. You are required to have root or equivalent privileges during the entire installation process.
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm
Installing the kernel-module.
yum -y install kmod-nvidia
Or, for those who can afford a dual-processor (or dual-core) machine.
yum install kmod-nvidia-smp
Set up SELinux so it won't conflict with our drivers.
setsebool -P allow_execmod=1
Shut down X.
init 3
Log back in as “root” and enable the driver.
nvidia-config-display enable
Restart X.
init 5
Compiling the nVIDIA module yourself
You are required to have root or equivalent privileges during the entire installation process. Download the latest driver from http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html Make sure you installed the kernel-development package.
rpm –q kernel-devel
If it is not yet installed, install it.
yum -y install kernel-devel
Set up SELinux so it won't conflict with our drivers.
setsebool -P allow_execmod=1
Shut down X.
init 3
Run the installer.
sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-<version>.run -a
Say “No” to downloads. Load the kernel module.
modprobe nvidia
Restart X.
init 5
Enabling 3D support for ATI Radeon graphics cards
When enabling support for ATI Radeon cards you can go two ways, one is using repositories, the other is compiling the module yourself.
Using repositories
First we set up the repository to provide us with the kernel modules we need. You are required to have root or equivalent privileges during the entire installation process.
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm
Installing the kernel-module.
yum -y install kmod-fglrx
Or, for those who can afford a dual-processor (or dual-core) machine.
yum install kmod-fglrx-smp
Set up SELinux so it won't conflict with our drivers.
setsebool -P allow_execmod=1
Shut down X.
init 3
Log back in as “root” and enable the driver.
ati-fglrx-config-display enable
Restart X.
init 5
Compiling the ATI Radeon module yourself
You are required to have root or equivalent privileges during the entire installation process. Download the latest driver from http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html Make sure you installed the kernel-development package.
rpm –q kernel-devel
If it is not yet installed, install it.
yum -y install kernel-devel
Set up SELinux so it won't conflict with our drivers.
setsebool -P allow_execmod=1
Shut down X.
init 3
Run the installer.
sh ./ati-driver-installer-<version>.run
Load the kernel module.
modprobe fglrx
Configure xorg.conf.
aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Restart X.
init 5
Downloading or compiling & installing dependencies
Check if all the required image libraries are present. “yum -y install <package(s)>” if not.
rpm -q libpng libmng libtiff libjpeg\ libpng-devel libmng-devel libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel
If you haven't done so already set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig or wherever pkgconfig is located. You can do this by entering the command:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
zziplib
Install the zziplib library.
yum -y install zziplib zziplib-devel
nVIDIA Cg Toolkit 1.5
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cg_toolkit.html
rpm -ivh ./Cg-1.5.<cpu architecture>.rpm
FreeType 2
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/
tar xvfj ./freetype-2.<version>.tar.bz2 cd ./freetype-2.<version> ./configure make sudo make install
FreeImage
As of Eihort 1.4.0, FreeImage is required for installation. http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/
unzip ./FreeImage<version>.zip cd ./FreeImage make sudo make install
OIS
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wgois
tar xvfj ./ogis-<version>.tar.bz2 cd ./ois-<version> ./bootstrap ./configure make sudo make install
DevIL (OpenIL)
http://openil.sourceforge.net/download.php
tar xvfz ./DevIL-<version>.tar.gz cd DevIL-<version>/ ./configure make sudo make install
Crazy Eddy's GUI
http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/Downloads
tar xvfj ./cegui_mk2-<version>.tar.bz2 cd ./cegui_mk2 ./configure make sudo make install
Compiling the OGRE
Get the latest-stable from the Source Releases for the Linux and Mac OSX platforms page. http://www.ogre3d.org/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=57&func=selectcat&cat=3
tar xvfj ./ogre-linux_osx-<version>.tar.bz2 cd ./ogrenew ./bootstrap
For nVIDIA cards:
./configure --with-platform=GLX make sudo make install sudo /sbin/ldconfig
The others:
./configure make sudo make install sudo /sbin/ldconfig
If successfully compiled and installed OGRE you can try running the demo applications in:
./Samples/Common/bin
