I'm not sure why I could not install the RPM for this. Then, after I added the Yum repository for Google, and still no joy, I went to the CentOS Wiki and I read about installing the rpmforge repository, which I have working properly. Then I searched for and found the key for Google and installed and verified it.

My last attempt ended with the following:

So, it looks like there is a problem unpacking that file. I think SELinux is set to permissive on my box, so that should not be causing this problem. Ideas? If someone here doesn't have a solution, I will post in a google group. TIA! Lanny

I have Selinux on my box and am not seeing the problem. I would check to see if /opt is full or that there is some other probelm in dmesg that the kernl is yelling about. I would also do a audit2allow -i /var/log/audit/audit.log to see if it says something.
