* "Summary" of -devel package is not "short and concise" as recommended by the
guidelines, but two sentences squeezed into an overlong line.

* Run rpmlint also on your src.rpm

* src.rpm download URL gives 404 Not Found

* %description of the -devel package is the same as the description of the main
package. That can't be right. Typically, you can cut down on that and simply
say something like: "This package contains development files for compiling
software that uses %{name}."

* -devel pkg typically must "Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}" to stay
in sync with the main package.

Note : That could also be the answer to your problem with the .so symlink. The
symlink must be in the -devel package, and the -devel package requires the main
package which contains the library file.

* %files devel section is missing %defattr parameter

* %files devel section contains unowned directories! Either add the missing

  %dir %{_docdir}/stxxl-1.2.1
  %dir %{_includedir}/stxxl

or use equivalent entries to include these directories and their contents
recursively. You would do this by removing the "*" wildcard that you use
currently.
