That said, 'twould be nice to have a clue what went wrong with the Bingo script.
it was written for a specific ubuntu/debian flavor and not tested elsewhere. autoconf is a gnarly thing, the scripts for it need to be carefully developed, just because what you do with it works on a single platform does NOT automatically mean it will work on all platforms.
its possible you're missing one or more -devel packages for something it needs. its possible its looking for stuff in debian specific locations and on EL they are somewhere else. its possible it depends on some specific version of a system library or developer tool or whatever and EL5/6 uses a different version.
I note there's a source package on that AVR site, it might be worth trying to build from there. optimally, get that to build, then package it as an RPM, and get it into one of the more popular repositories, and all that 'repos are bad' nonsense goes away.
