FYI - this whole workflow runs great for me, thanks a lot for the details.
I've built GDAL, QGIS and have also tested GPSTK with great success.

I'll dig through the archives to see what's next but had a few questions:
 - I've attached the SPEC for GPSTK in case others can test
 - I included the online tgz source but notice it untars into a folder that
   does not include the version number.  So build fails.  How can I tweak
   the spec to use this folder name: gpstk/  instead of the default gpstk-%{version} ?
 - Related to above question, is it normal for the repository to keep a copy of the
   source code archives as well?  I think it's yet, but wonder if I should just
   cleanup the original package so the decompressed folder is right, but
   I really want to tweak as little as possible.

Anyway, that's all for now, thanks!
