  Okay, for that, you will need to unpack the SRPM using "rpm -i", as
you wrote.  Edit the spec file.  I suggest changing the "Release"
field somehow, to make it easier to distinguish your tweaked version
from the original.  Then do:

	rpmbuild -ba your-new-spec-file.spec

  That should spit out installable RPMs under /usr/src/RPMS and SRPMs
under /usr/src/SRPMS.  -ba is "build all".  There are variants for
more selective operations, consult the man page for details.

[Labitt, Bruce] Umm, then I need to install the rpms? 

The vtk.spec file contains make and make install instructions - I
thought that would install stuff.

However, I did find in the /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64 directory a newly
made batch of vtk related rpms.  Slight confusion here.  

How do I tell if yum installed these rpms?  

yum list installed vtk ?
yum list extras vtk?

Thanks!
