why in the world dou you not simply type "yum install gedit"
instead installing devel-tools and make your system dirty
with non packaged stuff?

To add to what Reindl said, this should be the steps you should follow
when installing applications:

1. $ yum search <name>
2. If you find something, then simply
# yum install <package_name>
3. If not, search for community maintained repositories on rpmfusion or
fedorapeople or some such similar resource. A search engine like
Google or Yahoo helps.
4. When all of the above fails, build an rpm from source (unless it is a
complex application to package).
5. If building a package is difficult, then and only then install from
source.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Yes. But where did you get the tar file with the gedit source code?
