[CentOS] CentOS6: missing kernel module?

Testing out tipc for cluster development, and running into an immediate snag. 
tipcutils was found in EPEL but despite having a "compatible" kernel, it 
doesn't seem to actually work. 

It's a completely updated system, Intel i5 with 16 GB of RAM, nothing 
remarkable. 

Any ideas?
