silgraphite isn't packaged in Fedora yet, so there isn't any such
development package.

That would clear the above dependency,  but people do seem to get into a
total muddle with the configure options. The default options are the
best to go for unless you have a specific need to tailor them. i.e. the
above must have had a --with-system-libs or --with-system-silgraphite
passed to configure

./configure
make
