Yes, why are you trying to install this from source rather than the
centos repository? More importantly, why are you using centos 4.5?

RHEL/Centos 4 was EOL (end of life), i.e., no longer getting even
security updates, as of early 2012. Additionally, if your system was
held at 4.5 (rather than updating through 4.9), then you last
installed updates in 2007. 

If you are only using this system totally off-line or on a secure
internal network, then I assume you have some reason to have not
updated. If you have it connected to the internet (directly or
indirectly) you are leaving yourself (and your network) wide open to
all manner of security issues (and should unplug it now). 

I would strongly suggest that you update your system to Centos 6
(which will have full updates for another 2 years and maintenance
for 3 years after that) or 7, if you want to be totally current.

[if you're running your system off-line, you may want to look at
http://vault.centos.org for the appropriate .rpm files.]
