Thank you, Richard.  I have just installed a build from your .src.rpms 
above on my laptop running Scientific Linux 6 and so far it seems to be 
running fine.  Obviously I haven't tested everything that I hope to use 
yet, but I should now be able to do that without compromising my main 
F18 system.

The laptop system isn't Vanilla SL6.  Firstly I'm running the 
3.0.95-1.el6.elrepoNONPAE.i686 kernel, which includes support for my 
PCTV DVB-T2 tuner; so I needed its devel package.  repo is elrepo-kernel.

I also have these repos enabled and up to date: sl, sl-security, 
sl-fastbugs, kde, kde-testing, kde-unstable, rpmfusion-free-updates, 
epel, elrepo.

I didn't use mock, because I'm not familiar with it, and I needed a lot 
of devel packages.  The awkward ones were:

http://repo.markwalker.dk/plexht/el6/i386/libcec/libcec-2.1.0-1.el6.i386.rpm 
(The changelog says it's a fedora package)

and libcrystalhd, libtheora and libvorbis, from ATrpms and 
ATrpms-testing.  I was a bit wary about mixing ATrpms and rpmfusion but 
no problem seen here.

I don't expect to actually use any of these libraries but the build said 
it needed libtheora and libvorbis.  It failed before I installed 
libcrystalhd, too, although I built --without crystalhd and --without 
systemd.  AIUI this is the default for 'rhel'.  In fact I edited the 
specfile to make the rhel setting the default because of initial build 
failures, and because I'm not sure that SL6 would be identified as an 
rhel clone.   cat /etc/redhat-release gives 'Scientific Linux release 
6.4 (Carbon)'.  I know this affected home-builds with ATrpms specfiles 
earlier this year.

So... I now have 0.27 (RC) to explore.  Thanks again.  I hope this might 
be useful.
