It was fairly trivial. I don't remember the exact details, I think I
downloaded that script, typed sh whatever it's called--it stopped in the
middle complaining about some library or another, I did yum install that
library, yum installed something similar and then it built.  

Then, I did useradd -G vboxusers -a scottro and I was ready to rock and
roll. 

I always install make, gcc gcc-c++, kernel-devel and all that good
stuff.

I might have tried doing it from the fedora8 rpm, but if I remember
correctly, it didn't work.  

If you post what sort of problem you had, I might be able to give you
a better answer.

If the question is simply, can it be done, the answer is definitely yes,
though I don't think the rpm they have right now works.
