just as a follow up I managed to get it to work. In partial thanks to activating a new subscription :) Turns out it needs to be specially build for the 64 bit system...
I followed the instructions here http://kb.linuxvirtualserver.org/wiki/Compiling_ipvsadm_on_different_Linux_distributions I only had to slightly change the instructions # up2date redhat-rpm-config rpm-build kernel-utils # up2date --get-source kernel # rpm -ivh /var/spool/up2date/kernel*.src.rpm # cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS ( target removed ) <b># rpmbuild -bp kernel-2.6.spec</b> # cp -a /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src # ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src/linux Then, we can build the ipvsadm-1.24 rpm in the following command: rpmbuild --rebuild ipvsadm-1.24-6.src.rpm And install using: rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/ipvsadm- 1.24-6.x86_64.rpm to update the kernel and rebuild the rpm. I had to change the instructions slightly, removing the target=i686 from the kernel build and then was able to rebuild the ipvsadm-1.24-6.src.rpm into ipvsadm-1.24-6.x86_64.rpm I was then able to install this rpm and everything seems to be working.
