Is there a package I need to install and run to set things up corectly?

So what build dir shall I go for?

See the Fedora packaging guidelines, and install 'fedora-packager' from EPEL to get the tools that help you set up a normal user build environment. This works quite well for the most part, and should work better in 6.

I've done that now.

I had already installed the packages mentioned in the Centos wiki.

These won't cause conflicts at all with each other?
