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.
