The requirement section on the OOF website is not very clear. It seems it 
requires the development library for gtk2, so please install gtk2-devel 
(RHEL5 has gtk2-devel-2.10.4-16.el5), which will get you here:

$ python setup.py build
Can't find libgnomecanvas-2.0! Version 2.6 or later required

To fix this, install the libgnomecanvas-devel package, which will get you to:
$ python setup.py build
Can't find pygtk-2.0! Version 2.6 or later required

Then install pygtk2-devel, then ImageMagick-devel. It will then stop 
complaining, but linking will fail if you don't install lapack-devel. Once 
lapack-devel is installed, it will compile (at least it does on my 
workstation, which has RHEL5 x86_64 installed, but is currently running 
Mandriva 2008.0 x86_64).

Which package?

In future, please try not to misrepresent insufficient build instruction, or 
your lack of experience compiling software, as a shortcoming of the 
distribution.

Maybe I should just package it for Mandriva, and give you a rebuild for 
RHEL5 ...
