        I was told that "The

            correspond to RHEL 6?     Is there a command I
        could use to find out?   

        
      Is there a way I can force yum to install the RHEL 6 version?
    

    I saw .el6. in several of your RPMs on an earlier post, so yes,
    you're running a RHEL/CentOS 6 derived system.

    
    note the RPM version numbers don't necessarily directly match with
    the file versions.  on my CentOS 6 system, i have...

    
    # rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libpoppler.so.5
    

    poppler-0.12.4-3.el6_0.1.x86_64
    

    poppler-0.12.4-3.el6_0.1.x86_64.rpm is from the centos6 base/updates
    repository.
