I see it's only over on repoforge for CentOS, but trying to install it at home (I'm running 5.8, 32-bit), it wants about 30 or more dependencies, and one or two of them, of course, have conflicts.
Has anyone installed it in a 5.x environment? If so, what did you do?
I think you may want to look at getting it from repo like rpmforge
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge
might want to make sure if you want to start using a third party repo that you install priorities and understand how it works ;)
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.
