OK, the _first_ thing you need to do is look at the EPEL (Extra
Packages for Enterprise Linux) section of
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories. And
understand that the rpm packages in that repository do not overwrite
any base system packages (although they may conflict with other 3rd
party packages). These packages are known to work on RHEL/CentOS -
something you can't say for some random tarball you compile yourself.
After you install the epel-release package, you can use 'yum search
packagename', 'yum info packagename', yum install packagename, etc.,
and subsequent 'yum update' runs will do the right things. Or if
you want to do it the hard way you can download the individual rpm
packages, install them in dependency order, and watch for updates
yourself.
