Why can't I launch qgis??

[Beartooth]

	I have 

[btth at Hbsk2 ~]$ rpm -q qgis
qgis-1.0.2-1.fc11.i586
[btth at Hbsk2 ~]$

or equivalent on all four of the Fedora 11 PCs on my desk -- and none of 
them can seem to launch it. Not with the GUI (by clicking the launcher, 
which shows a Q transfixed by an arrow pointing NE), nor yet from the CLI 
(by commanding "qgis &" as user or as root).

	Any guesses why not?

	There is a little more detail at 

http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4969

but no answer there, either.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
