So, I've spent countless hours trying to figure out what I'm understanding wrong or missing to actually get IPBLOCK up and running for my FEDORA 16 OS, as I feel this an absoulte essential before even touching my first torrent download, etc.
I'm just going to go through the motions I've done so far.. feel free to slap me with the smart-stick as Linux is practically fresh and brand new to me and definitely a whole different ball game compared to knowing what I'm doing in Windows. I'm also keen to learn and taking things step by step would be very helpful for me to fully understand what's going on, why I missed "easy" things and how to avoid that mistake next time as to keep peoples time focused on more important questions to answer, alas...
I hope I can have help with this... here goes nothing.

So far I've managed to do this :
I found this site giving somewhat straight forward steps but apparently not straight forward enough from here ..

Also found the KWrite Install notes saying the same thing, but proceeded forward trying to "Install" what I need so I can get this working..
I entered into the terminal under root, this:
yum install gcc-c++
yum install libnetfilter_queue-devel
yum install zlib-devel
yum install pcre-devel
Perfectly installed, no problems.
Here's where I start running into foreign understandings to try and finish this.
Next step says this :
To build iplist run
$ tar fxz iplist-<version>.tar.gz
$ cd iplist*
$ make
I tried typing into the command line :
tar fxz iplist-0.29.tar.gz
((
I typed in 0.29 as it had <version> so I took that as the necessary one to type in))
((as well I had un archived the downloaded IPlist download that has aforementioned KWrite Install note along with several dozen other files .. foreign of course.. but there are numerous files in here like ipblock.patch , nfq.cc, nfq.patch etc ))
((
I'm sure native Linux users know what's located in the Iplist download so I won't repost everything... but yeah))
And here is where I have failed.
I've tried finding step by step for complete newbs for getting this done, to no avail... I realize I'm new Linux, but I'm not incapable of understanding code once I know what it does and how to do it.. just the first time around is pretty rough as Linux is a whole variety of new.
Just hope I can have help going through the processes to see this successfully install... your help is greatly appreciated!
