Hello, Scott
I actually had the following installed when I started getting the icu
related errors that I am getting:
icu 3.4-6.2
libicu 3.4-6.2
libicu-devel 3.4-6.2
libicu-doc.i386

These are the most recent icu packages available in the Fedora Core (as
opposed to Extras) repository.  As an experiment, I tried compiling a
fresh build directory of sword 1.5.9 with icu 3.4.1 from IBM.  I had
just about the same results as with the version of icu that ships with
Fedora Core 5:

It sure would be cool to get this working, but I figure that worst case
scenario, Fedora Core 6 will be release next week, and I can try from a
clean slate.

Have a Great Night,
