When I played with it, I first removed the older libmpt libraries. U is for update, but it didn't in my case, saying a library supplied by the older version was required by vlc. If there is nothing to be updated, Uvh will just install.

On distributions that I do use to access the phone, on one of them, Lubuntu with LXDE, it will show up and be accessible in the file browser. On the others, I run the command simple-mtpfs (or variant, depending upon distribution) to mount it. However, I wasn't able to successfully install any of those (simple-mtpfs, mtpfs, or jmtpfs) on CentOS. > > Clicking on SAMSUNG_Android_SGH-T999 in the file browser, shows what "appears" to be the phone (except that all folders show up as empty). > http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/13169408/640/13169408.png > > It looks like the libmtp RPM worked but I'm not sure of the use model to access the picture data on the cellphone (or any data on the cellphone, as all directories show as empty when I click on them in Centos). > Honestly, I don't know.
