Fedora re-installed, finally found a package that doesn't break it

I downloaded the latest FileZilla (client) source. Created "make" files using the "configure" script and compiled the executable. Testing shows that it works.

The main challenge was trying to find the package dependencies based on names that often didn't match those on the repositories. There also some packages not documented that needed to be installed, as "autoconf" 'configure' script would halt when certain libraries were not found.
