Just one comment from a system management point of view: if you run
CentOS, meant as a stable production OS, you probably wants to care
for not screwing up your system.  Installing software without an
RPM, especially software that already is provided by the distro
itself, is the *worst* thing someone can do.

For RHEL/CentOS, if you're not happy with the distro version (I had
the same problem with CentOS 4), you should carefully backport
(often a rebuild is enough) a recent Fedora RPM and install that.
