I was able to get Chrome working by doing the following (as root):
wget http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/install_chrome.sh chmod u+x install_chrome.sh ./install_chrome.sh
Chrome can then be run with the command: google-chrome & Note that this will only run as a regular user, not as root.
I ran that script to get Chrome v29.x to install 6 or 7 months ago... it fetches a GTK package from a fedora 15 repo and segregates it from the CentOS GTK files, if I recall correctly...
yum has since upgraded Chrome 3 or 4 times (now at v31.something) from Google's repo with no further hoop jumping.
I'm glad this worked for you, but this is quite possibly the most horrific way to put chrome on a system. This script pulls in packages that no longer get updated, abuses LD_PRELOAD, builds as root, and quite possibly consumes raw orphaned kittens.
This script should be classified as a criminal offense.
