Tripwire replacement

Fedora Core doesn't ship with tripwire package (like previous Red Hat 
Linux relases did).  What are alternatives for use on Fedora Core?

I know about aide, but it seems that configuration file is rather 
unintuitive, and sometimes it is hard to say what will be scanned, and 
what will be skipped.

I've also found that tripwire RPM from Red Hat 9 will work on FC1 and 
FC2 but not FC3.  Source RPM from Red Hat 9 with latest Mandrake patches 
will compile on FC2 and work on FC3 also (but can't be compiled on FC3, 
because tripwire compiles with gcc up to 3.3.x, and fails to compile 
with 3.4.x).  This doesn't look promising (what will happen when FC4, 
FC5, and so on are released).

Any other alternatives?
