I wrote a short tutorial about installing Graph-Tool on CentOS this a while ago. It should be findable in this mailinglist. For example, to overcome the problem of the old GCC version, you should yum install the devtoolset-4, which provides newer versions of a number of important binaries.
Good luck!
