IIRC, dogtail and pyspi RPM packages are part of Fedora Core 6, so typing
  yum install dogtail
as root should install it (and its dependencies).

You'd need to have Pyrex installed if you want to build it from source like this.  But using RPMs is probably easiest.

This may cause problems if you follow my advice above to install it via yum - you'll have two versions installed, one from RPM in /usr, the other from the above in /usr/local.   If you decide to use RPMs you may want to clean out the /usr/local copy.

May be symptoms of the above problems.
