Build using Fedora

1. Install the RPM development tools

   sudo yum install rpmdevtools mock

2. Add yourself to the mock group

   sudo /usr/sbin/usermod --groups mock --append $USER

3. Setup build directories

   rpmdev-setuptree

4. Install spec and source files (or get latest here)

   rpm -i ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/qpidc-0.5.752581-17.el5.src.rpm
   rpm -i ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/amqp-1.0.750054-1.el5.src.rpm
   rpm -i ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/python-qpid-0.5.752581-3.el5.src.rpm

5. Build qpidc

   rpmbuild -bs --nodeps ~/rpmbuild/SRPM/qpidc.spec
   mock -vr epel-5-x86_64 ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/qpidc-*.src.rpm
   scp /var/lib/mock/epel-5-x86_64/result/*.rpm CENTOS_HOST:SOME_PATH

6. Build amqp

   rpmbuild -bs --nodeps ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/amqp.spec
   mock -vr epel-5-x86_64 ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/amqp-*.src.rpm
   scp /var/lib/mock/epel-5-x86_64/result/*.rpm CENTOS_HOST:SOME_PATH

7. Build python-qpid

   rpmbuild -bs --nodeps ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/python-qpid.spec
   mock -vr epel-5-x86_64 ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/python-qpid-*.src.rpm
   scp /var/lib/mock/epel-5-x86_64/result/*.rpm CENTOS_HOST:SOME_PATH

Install on CentOS

1. Become root

   sudo su -

2. Install Qpid server and Python client packages

   cd SOME_PATH
   yum localinstall --nogpgcheck qpidc-*.el5.x86_64.rpm qpidd-*.el5.x86_64.rpm amqp-*.el5.noarch.rpm python-qpid-*.el5.noarch.rpm

3. Disable auth for testing

   echo 'auth=no' >> /etc/qpidd.conf

4. Start qpidd

   service qpidd start

5. Test using these instructions.

NOTE: I realize you can build the SRPMs without installing them.
