kellwin - is there a change in 2.4 that I'm not aware of? This problem was fixed last year.

Also, Fedora 23 is no longer supported - plus the latest version in the 2.4 series is 2.4.6. Unfortunately, the fix may have to be to manually download the package for a later version of Fedora, find any new dependencies, then manually install the newer version of OpenLP.

To expand - the fix was merged in r2622 in 2016-03-03

[Ken Roberts (alisonken1)]

Fix for this was committed and released in version 2.4.1
