Does GSat need the GTK1.x.x or GTK2.x.x libraries. Try to find that out
first, and install the apropriate -devel libraries (depends on your
distribution, I don't run Fedora)

Graphical Tracking. Take a look at xplanet (http://xplanet.sf.net) It is
also able to display ground tracks and footprints of Earth orbiting
satellites.
