Their instructions for building dionaea were for Ubuntu (http://dionaea.carnivore.it/#compiling), here's my notes on Fedora:
sudo yum install udns-devel libtool glib2-devel openssl-devel readline-devel sqlite-devel python-devel subversion git flex bison pkgconfig
Follow the rest of the instructions until you get to libnl. It's moved, and you can find the latest version at:
git://git.infradead.org/users/tgr/libnl.git
For libev, you can find the latest release at: http://dist.schmorp.de/libev/ - at the time of this post, it's at version 4.11 so I did 'wget http://dist.schmorp.de/libev/libev-4.11.tar.gz'.
If you're not running 64-bit, leave off "-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/" when configuring Python.
Cython is located at http://cython.org/#download. 0.15.1 is out, so I did 'wget http://cython.org/release/Cython-0.15.1.tar.gz'.
I skipped configuring OpenSSL. It caused problems and the IRC channel wouldn't tell me what you gain by compiling your own version.
Last, when I would run 'make' for dionaea, it would give me this error:
/usr/bin/ld: dionaea-connection.o: undefined reference to symbol 'X509_gmtime_adj' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'X509_gmtime_adj' is defined in DSO /lib/libcrypto.so.10 so try adding it to the linker command line /lib/libcrypto.so.10: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
So I included /lib/libcrypto.so to be linked:

Remember to replace 'cd /home/jbc/dionaea/src' with wherever you pulled dionaea via git from.
