Andrew:

AFAIK you can only do it by building from source.  It really isn't too
bad, though it takes a while (depending on your hardware).  If you
search the archives of this list you will find some info, in
particular links to sites with information on compiling for CentOS 5
and lists of items you can install as RPMs from your current repos
that will get you along in the process.  I did it a while back and
posted everything I found to this list.  I didn't maintain my notes
and got distracted by other projects, so I can't really be much help
now other than to point you to the list archives and Google.

Good luck.

George
