<p>While you can go about building all these things from source, this
how to will try and meet the dependencies using packages from <a class="reference external" href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL">EPEL</a>.
The <em>el5</em> and the <em>el6</em> package should be compatible with CentOS 5.x.</p>
