jeses why do he not make a RPM build? * taking a src.rpm from centOS6 * rpmbuild --rebuild postfix.rsc.rpm * the output shows where the rpm is built * yum --nogpgcheck localupdate your-rpm-path.rpm NEVER do any source-install over a installed RPM and i guess yu can not remove the rpm-package beause of dependencies the other option would be using a prebuilt RPM even as fedora user i guess there are some for CentOS 5 but they are not included upstream - so you have to trust the builder
