More - why are you (the OP) getting it from repoforge? This has come up
over and over - the packages there are not guaranteed to be compatible
with packages from the std. CentOS repositories.

Try removing it, and installing from one of the CentOS mirrors, or epel,
or rpmfusion.

Btw, if the o/p has d/l it, but not installed, it would be rpm -qip....
