I just ran a quick install on CentOS. Indeed, it turns out that a lot of
external dependencies were missing on the opam side. I've pushed a PR to
add them, should be merged soon:
https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/pull/8759

Please note, however, that CentOS is missing official packages for crucial
encoders and decoders such as mad/lame for MP3 and fdk-aac for AAC(+). This
will indeed make installing and using liquidsoap on CentOS quite difficult.

Furthermore, I discovered along the way the code for taglib in liquidsoap
was coupled with the code for the mad decoder so taglib won't compile
unless you also install mad. This will be fixed with the next release.

Hope this helps,
Romain
