Are you sure plain Fedora 11 has recent enough versions of all dependencies
required by Sugar 0.88? A quick glance at
examples/f11-0.88-xo1-py-nognome.ini and the dextrose-f11-0.88 used in
there suggests you'd have to pull in at least some backports.

I take this to mean that you tried running sugar from a Linux virtual
console in text mode, i.e. outside of X. Since Sugar builds on X, this
can't work and explains the errors you ran into.

Unfortunately olpc-dm sends all error messages to /dev/null by default,
making it unnecessarily hard to diagnose this kind of problem. You
could, however, start xterm instead of sugar in ~olpc/.xsession and run
sugar manually from inside the xterm to see the errors.
