I did try what you suggested.  The rpmbuild did fail - requiring
opensp-devel.  None of the yum repositories I have (Fedora, Dag, Livna, and
XCYB) seem to have that package, so I thought I'd try the exact same
procesure on opensp (rpmbuild --rebuild followed by rpm -Uvh) and
opensp-devel.  Running rpmbuild on opensp seems to give me both packages;
opensp is needed first.  Trying to install THAT gives me the error below.
If you've got a suggestion for an alternate repository, I'd be happy to try
that.

Thank you again for your patience.
