[CentOS] cacti on centos

Hi all,

I'm trying to get Cacti installed on my CentOS 4.3 x86_64 box.  I've  
got all of required packages installed, and created database file, and  
followed all the instructions in install manual.

However, when I get login screen and use admin for username/password,  
it simply redirects me straight back to login screen.  Looking at  
user_log table, the authentication was successfull (and since it was  
updated, I know database stuff works OK).  If I type username or  
password wrong, I get messages saying so.  If I just use admin as  
username/password, I get normal login screen with no "wrong password"  
message.

I'm kind of stuck.  Googling around hasn't helped much either.   
Anybody else had same problem?

Searching the list archive, I can see there are many folks outthere  
running Cacti on CentOS, so hopefully somebody could help me out.

Some additional notes:

One thing I had to do was to hardcode paths in include/config.php for  
$config["base_path"] and $config["library_path"].  The ereg_replace  
stuff was throwing "premature end of regular expression" errors.   
Could be related to the problem I have.

I got same thing with Karan's and cacti.org SRPM files (0.8.6d and  
0.8.6h, respectively).

SELinux is in permissive mode on the box.
