Yep, that /etc/hosts line was the difference.  CentOS defines "::1" as only
IPv6 localhost names (localhost6 etc) whilst RHEL defines it as all
incarnations.

Cherokee 1.2.100 installed and working fine on RHEL 6.  Many thanks!

FYI, in case anyone tries to install the RPMs from the EPEL testing
repository, the current versions were built without LDAP and GeoIP support
(seemingly for all distros and architectures; see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746532).
