I don't know much about the rpms, but they are not official.  If you 
build vtk yourself, CMake should set up your makefiles correctly right 
out of the box.  Just do cvs checkout of vtk and cmake.  The build is 
pretty painless, and then if you still have problems I would be happy to 
guide you through.
