Alex,

As Josh mentioned earlier, that version of GRC is ludicrously out of
date and won't work. It is strictly a relic of Fedora's package
maintainers and should probably be uninstalled. Later versions of
Gnuradio include GRC as part of the bundle, and so installing Gnuradio
also gets you GRC. That's why you can't find a GRC install guide.

Mr. Pretty's build guide will also install GRC from source as part of
the process (as it is bundled with Gnuradio) and so following it should
get you the most up-to-date Gnuradio/GRC installation. I recommend
taking the plunge and installing from Git. As his guide is tailored to
Ubuntu, the steps required will differ only in that you will have to
install the packages mentioned in steps 6 and 7 via yum, the Fedora
package manager. The names of the packages may differ, but you can
always use the graphical package management tool to find the most
up-to-date packages for your system.

No, it is not a single-click operation, but hey, it's free. Until we get
around to implementing Clippy for Gnuradio, it will still take some
Linux skills to utilize effectively.
