So eventually I found that if I install the /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo file: >>> [dag] name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 >>>
I can try to install memcached from there. When I first tried to install memcached I got the error "Public key for memcached-1.2.6-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm is not installed", however I was able to fix that by running rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm This was a huge mess to figure out because every page that I found on Google had wrong or incomplete information about how to do this, which led me to search for other pages that supplied some of the missing information but had their own pieces missing... Please consider adding this information to the installation instructions :) (This worked on CentOS 5.3. I assume that for other versions of CentOS you'd have to do it differently; you can't use rpm to install an "el5" public key on CentOS 4. Actually the problem is that you can, but then you get mysterious errors later.)
