[CentOS] Fedora source packages on Centos -- libtiff again

["Robert Moskowitz" <rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In my seeking a managable way to build libtiff, on the Asterfax forum I
got the following recommendation (from another fax user that made the
move to libtiff 3.8.2):

================================================================

Hi Robert, 
 
I have compiled libtiff-3.8.2 from the source package for my Fedora Core
4 machine. 
I am not sure about CentOS, but I think you can try to do the same with
rpmbuild and the source package for Fedora: 
 
- Install the rpmbuild tools in CentOS; 
- Download the source package for Fedora:

http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/atrpms/src/fc6-i386/redhat/SRPMS.updates/libtiff-3.8.2-2.src.rpm
 
- Install the source package as a non-root user: 
rpm -ivh libtiff-3.8.2-2.src.rpm 
- Go to your rpmbuild folder: cd ~/rpmbuild 
- Rebuild the package: rpmbuild -ba SPECS/libtiff.spec 
 
If everything goes well, you will find a brand new set of RPM packages in
the ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/ (replace i386 for your actual architecture if
you're not building on i386), which you can install with the upgrade RPM
command: rpm -Uvh libtiff-3.8.2*.rpm 

================================================================

 Does this 'look right' for Centos?  If not what do I
change?

And how do I get the rpmbuild tools?   yum install
rpmbuild  ??

Finally, once I have built 3.8.2, how would I migrate it to other
systems?
