I've read docs and Wikis for hours until I'm blue in the face. The issue is not how it's used. The issue is that I can't get it to INSTALL on a commercial non-GUI OS like RHEL/CentOS. All libraries, RPMs, how-tos, etc seem to be for hobby, uber-geek, & bleeding edge distros. Installing from sour...
