You can try it on C6, but it may take some tweaking in the spec file.

Look under:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Everything/source/SRPMS/m/

And you'll need to 'yum install rpm-build' if you don't have it, along
with development tools.

If you can find an archive with one that worked on fedora 13 it would
have a better chance of rebuilding on Centos 6.
