Fedora Core 

Battle for Wesnoth is included in Fedora Extras, which is
enabled in Fedora by default. The current version of Battle for
Wesnoth in Fedora 5, Fedora 6, and the development branch is
1.2, and is available for ppc, i386, and x86_64 architectures.
If you have problems with these packages, or other questions,
please contact the Fedora maintainer Brian Pepple. 

To install simply run: 

*yum install wesnoth wesnoth-tools wesnoth-server

Simplest solution would be to grab an older SDL_image.
