[Therion] Compiling Therion without Loch

Hello everyone -
It has been a couple of months. With the release of version 5.3.12 I dug into
this problem in greater depth. Net result - I can get Therion to compile but
Loch is still no-go. Details below. I don't use Loch, so not having it is
not a problem for me.
The target system is Fedora 20, 64-bit. I installed it as a clean, fresh
system. It is not an upgrade.
One thing I found with Fedora 20 is that vtk-devel cannot be installed. When
I try to "yum install vtk-devel" I get a raft of errors that ends like this:
--> Processing Conflict: community-mysql-5.5.34-1.fc20.x86_64 conflicts
--> mariadb
--> Processing Conflict: 1:mariadb-5.5.34-2.fc20.x86_64 conflicts
--> community-mysql
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: mariadb conflicts with community-mysql-5.5.34-1.fc20.x86_64
Error: community-mysql conflicts with 1:mariadb-5.5.34-2.fc20.x86_64
There is also a long list of dependencies that includes PostGreSQL and what
looks like 50 or 60 Python and TCL libraries. It's a mess!!!
Here is what I changed to make Therion compile.
1) In file "makeinstall.tcl" ... Comment out line 55.
2) In file "Makefile" ... Change line 122 to read
all: therion doc xtherion/xtherion
3) In file "Makefile" ... Comment out lines 30, 173, 174, 190, 229, 233, 237,
241, 245, 249
The next thing I will do is try this on some systems that are upgraded from
Fedora 19 to 20.
Regards - Bill Gee
