This was the problem.  The SRPMS directory does not exist.  I updated
bashrc-snippet to create this automatically, see fedora-kernel-ia64
cset 16.

Following full build of rpms, you should install the packages instead
of installing manually.  (I understand you installed manually here
because the packages did not build completely... sorry!)

However there are some dependencies needed from extras yet.  While we
are waiting for extras to be built in its entirety, I will supply
a yum repository in a follow-up message.
