If all you want to do is run Julia rather than build it (and the soon-to-be-C++11 libraries that it depends on), then as Peter said the best option is to use the generic Linux binaries. We just had to build GCC ourselves on the centos 5 buildbot VM we use for those, because the devtoolset does some strange packaging of libgfortran and libstdc++ that don't quite work for the purposes of distributing Julia. The devtoolset still works fine for building Julia locally though.
