this should be the right one -- lock inside (yum might be able to list the
content), it should have some or more files ending with .h

until error messages advise otherwise, i think that's not necessary. after
all, you're just linking an app aganinst a well known and available lib.

not necessarily (there are actually src.rpm). the devel-packages conatin
additional, usually platform independent, informations like the .h files
and .la, which basically provide informations how other applications may
play together with this app (libgps in our case).

you can do rpm -ql if you're curious about the packages contents, but on
any distribution conforming to lsb there are well defined pathes to
install those files into and to look for.
thus, the compiler should be able to finde the necessary files without any
further action on your side.

only if you want to build gps yourself.
in the rare case, there is absolutely no devel package available, you
might use a source package as well, since it contains that .h and .la
files as well -- but that requires a certain amount of configuration to
make the compiler find them.
