I rebuild the 1.6.0-2 version from Fedora.

The rpm hinted by Micha did the job: 
http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el6/qtwebkit/

I did recompile GRASS, but I won't go into details, since I like Micha's approach more. Except the GL issue, everything was fine.

The same holds true for QGIS. Once the above dependency was installed, the package compiles flawlessly on SL6. For installation it needs gpsbabel. I rebuild the current Fedora package for that.

My general impression is, that building GIS packages is easier on EL6 then on EL5, mostly because of a more current software setup.

So let's hope that CentOS 6 comes out soon!
