What about libspeexdsp and libgdm? Fedora repos don't have prebuilt so I 
have to go with source. Do you know of anyoptions needed besides 
PREFIX=/usr? Also I could only find gdbm, that should have the libgdbm 
parts. Should I build and install the whole pkge, if not, what options 
for a partial install?
