Well, when I looked at the script I found that on RHEL, only those where
needed at build time:
[...]
if [ $BUILDTIME ]; then
   echo "*** Installing $DISTRO buildtime dependencies ***";
[...]
      RedHatEnterprise*|CentOS)
         # 4=Nahant* 5=Tikanga*
         yum install \
            postgresql-devel \
            file libxml2 \
            perl-Text-Template subversion
[...]

So there seems to be a swap with what is required at run time:

[...]
if [ $RUNTIME ]; then
   echo "*** Installing $DISTRO runtime dependencies ***";
[...]
     RedHatEnterprise*|CentOS)
         # 4=Nahant* 5=Tikanga*
         [ $AGENT ] || yum install postgresql-server httpd
         yum install \
            postgresql \
            php php-pear php-pgsql \
            file libxml2 \
            binutils bzip2 cpio mkisofs poppler-utils rpm tar unzip gzip
         echo "NOTE: libextractor, cabextract, sleuthkit, upx, and unrar are 
not"
         echo "    available in RHEL please install from upstream
sources.";;

[...]

So I was expecting that nothing more would be needed at *build* time. At
least libextractor seems really needed. What about the others ? How do
you want I solve the issue ? Should I provide a package for libextractor
on rhel5 ?
