Thanks for the suggestions, I took your advice and got lucky, it was available in Yum. I am dreading the idea of having to install a second copy with the way things are set now, but I don't see my luck holding out with the all of modules we will need being in the Yum repository...

Eventually I will have to add our own copy, I can definitely see the wisdom in it and was very close to doing it in this last time. It really opened my eyes, I had no idea it was just haphazardly throwing things wherever it pleased, being in full control of installs will be very nice.

Thanks again, and to everyone else who replied as well.
