There is no squid-devel file that contains the header (.h) files, etc.
Not sure if their should be or not ... the spec file does not contain
the rules to make one.

CentOS (and the upstream provider ... and everyone else) strips their
binaries of debuginfo ... that has nothing to do with building things or
devel files.

If you want the patched source that the RPM is built from, do this (for
centos-3 version of squid).
download the latest SRPM from here:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3/os/SRPMS/squid-2.5.STABLE3-6.3E.16.src.rpm
install it (on a machine with rpm-build installed):
rpm -Uvh squid-2.5.STABLE3-6.3E.16.src.rpm
go to the SPEC directory ... the default is:
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS
issue the command:
rpmbuild -bp squid.spec
now go to the BUILD directory ... default is:
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD
your patched squid source will be in the directory named:
squid-2.5.STABLE3
If you need to know how it was configured ... edit the file squid.spec
and look at the configure section.
Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
