I used to maintain EL5/Centos5 rpm packages, but had to stop, since it required more and more workarounds as time progressed. The current stable 0.2.4.x couldn't even be compiled by the distro's gcc - which in turn required maintaining separate gcc toolchain with its various dependencies. > I'm encountering errors, and wanted to know whether this is because tor now > requires Centos > 5, or there is a simple solution to what I am seeing, or > perhaps there is some problem with your repos. In short, yes. You need CentOS 6. Otherwise you have to hand-build and maintain all the parts *including compiler toolchain*.
