Package `varka' not found when installing Marlin of Fedora 17

Question

I'm trying to install the Marlin file browser. I've already installed many required packages but I don't know what to do about this varka error. Here is the output from cmake (the previous step) and make (the error-producing step).

[zzz@localhost build]$ cmake ..

If you don't mind compiling from source, you can get Varka from Launchpad. (If you have Bazaar installed, the easiest way to get the source is to type bzr branch lp:varka.)

To install (assuming that you have the required packages), navigate into the source directory, which should be named varka.

Then do

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

If you don't have the required dependencies, it will error, and tell you what dependencies you need.
