Compiling from source are usually easy. I see that the official site 
propose package for centos (clone of RHLE, based on Fedora). Chances are 
that they will work on Fedora (if you have clisp installed). Uninstall 
your version of maxima and try these RPM's (that you can always 
uninstall in case of problems).
