This plugin has been obsoleted by upstream, facebook now supports the xmpp protocol and it’s preferred to use this instead.

Kopete-facebook is now called kopete-protocol-facebook, as that is the upstream name used in openSUSE.
Build 0.1.5-5 is now in koji, http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=9795
QJSon has now gotten into the Fedora repositories, I am not the maintainer of it. You should remove libqjson* that you have installed from here, and instead use the official build.
su -c 'yum remove libqjson* && yum install qjson'
After that you install kopete-facebook:

openSUSE 11.2 went public a while ago and I thought I’d check it out. Suse was one of the first distributions I began experimenting with linux on. I was impressed then (opensuse 9.0), and 11.2 does not let me down. Everything I’ve thrown at it thus far has been successful. OpenSuse has always had a great KDE implementation, and KDE 4.3.1 that is shipped with 11.2 is no letdown. KDE 4.3.4 is available too from the repositories after some manual intervention. There are some small hiccups in getting the multimedia to work as it should, enabling the Packman repo and installing gecko-mediaplayer results in Firefox crashing every time you attempt to start it. RedDwarf has a newer release that fixes it in the build service however. Oh yeah, I’ve rebuilt the kopete-protocol-facebook plugin for openSUSE too, their version doesn’t show the buddylist. Get it from the build service. My repo is here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Magnu5:/Kopete-protocol-facebook-git/openSUSE_11.2/
one click install: http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home:Magnu5:Kopete-protocol-facebook-git/openSUSE_11.2/kopete-protocol-facebook.ymp
Just finished building for Fedora 11 i586 and Fedora 12 i686, libqjson also updated to 0.6.3 on Fedora 11.
Files available here.
Updated my RPMs for Fedora 12 to fix the buddy list not showing.
