OK. Thank you. I was following the procedure documented on the EPEL FAQ. I'd like to update this documentation on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_can_I_install_the_packages_from_the_EPEL_software_repository.3F with the above workaround for RHEL 5. How do I request edit privs on the Wiki, please? I don't see a link to register for a Wiki account.
