That's because it's the same as on other distributions. Just install the latest wine and winetricks following the instructions for Fedora (I can't be arsed to find their wiki, forums, manuals because they have an awefull site). Then just follow the typical installing eve instructions.

Try doing: yum install wine winetricks
Then use a file manager to find the eve install file, make sure it's executable, and then run it.

I have a more detailed description of how to install it on Ubuntu, and most of the steps are the same, except the ppa addition and using yum instead of aptitude.

I found it was a complete pain in the rectum as I have an ATI card to run it on. Bad times. So much so that I ended up putting windoze 7 on my beloved FC17 box :(

I am running eve on Fedora 17 since it comes out and cannot report any serious issue that was not related to wine or incoming patches. Its working very nice here with a high performance and excluding the CQ everything is working like its expected. Just give it a try. Following the instructions from WineHQ shall be sufficient to get it running:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=25823

Winetricks is btw not available in the official repository. Just grab it from http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks.

The only real issue is with the native libraries and the update patches. Caused some troubles before it was actually running. Just create two scripts for launching eve. For normal starts:
Quote:

#!/bin/sh
export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="*msvcr100,*msvcr90,*msvcr80=b,n"
WINEDEBUG="-all" WINEARCH=32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-eve padsp wine ~/.wine-eve/drive_c/Programme/CCP/EVE/bin/ExeFile.exe


And if updates are available, just run a script like this:
Quote:

#!/bin/sh
export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="*msvcr100,*msvcr90,*msvcr80=n,n"
WINEDEBUG="-all" WINEARCH=32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-eve wine ~/.wine-eve/drive_c/Programme/CCP/EVE/eve.exe


If you run into any issue, just let us know.
