OK - since you are a non-programmer, let's try to do a kludge to
get you up and running while we all go off and try to figure out
WTF is going on here.

To get you up and running, (and assuming you can install PLIB
from the RPM) edit /usr/include/plib/sg.h and add this just
before it says '#define sgFloat float' :

    #ifndef FLT_MAX
    #  define FLT_MAX (3.40282e+38)
    #endif
    #ifndef DBL_MAX
    #  define DBL_MAX (1.79769e+308)                                          
    #endif

Boy - those are *BIG* numbers! ...anyway, that should allow you
to compile and run TuxKart OK.

Sorry for the hassle - I have no idea why this doesn't work for you.
