I think you didn't read all of what I asked: none of the std. repos for
CentOS have it (nor for 6.2); it seems to be at repoforge, yes, I do know
how to add another repo, and the problem is the dependencies of
dependencies.

I was *hoping* that either a) someone had a workaround to let me install
it, or b) had another repo source that might have fewer dependencies.
