I build rpms using the git source but using the rpmbuild process based
on the spec file from the src rpm, if you just want Claws at its release
version then just install it from the repositories, 4.1.1 is now
available.

If you have installed libetpan-devel then you should have:

/usr/include/libetpan/libetpan-config.h

You also need to check for libetpan.pc in:

/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libetpan.pc

Which is probably what is being checked for as well.

There's plenty of documentation on the fedoraproject.org site about
locally building rpms and getting set up to do so.
