I've installed it on a CentOS 6.3 machine, which should be basically the same as installing it on RHEL 6.3. It was very, very difficult and I basically spent two days installing various dependencies from source. Make sure you have the correct versions of the required libraries - IIRC the error you're getting now is because you have the incorrect version of glibc; I believe I have version 2.17.
