NVU and libIDL 0.8.x

[Jim Hart]

I want to build NVU on my YDL 3.0.1 system. The requirements shown at
http://www.mozilla.org/build/unix.html say:

libIDL 0.6.3 - 0.6.8 
Source snapshots are available from Mozilla via ftp. If using the RPMs,
you'll need both the regular rpm and the -devel rpm. 
If you already have ORBit installed, then you do not need to install
libIDL as ORBit bundles libIDL. You may need to install the ORBit-devel
package if you use packages.
Note: libIDL 0.8.x will not work with mozilla.

With 'yum', I checked what's on my system. It says:

Looking in Installed Packages:
Name                                Arch   Version                 
Repo        
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
libIDL                              ppc    0.8.0-3

and:

Is there anything I can do to make my system able to build NVU?
