The only error obvious to me, is the --prefix=/usr/bin, it should just be --prefix=/usr. IM will then install the binaries in /usr/bin, the libs in /usr/lib, and the headers in /usr/include. Try with the right prefix, and please use the simpler step by step method I showed. The problem with --prefix=/usr/bin is that all the headers and libs won't be put in the right place.

When trying to debug a problem, you want each step as simple as possible. It really sounds like you have a messed up fedora compiler..... ask on a fedora list how to do it. I use Slackware, and never have problems like that.

I kind of find it hard to believe that you didn't see an error in the logs about not being able to install the libs into /usr/bin/lib. If they did install, you might want to remove them.
