After a quick read of the 'Installation Guide' at puppetlabs.com I see
that there is either tar or distro options. I looked at distro option
and see that for redhat there is only outdated
puppet-0.25.5-1.el5.noarch.rpm  at 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/
. No rpms for 2.6.4. Anyway that EPEL source of rpms would be my last
option.
Tried the latest tar option with puppet-2.6.4.tar.gz and see that that
install.rb is very buggy - there are serious permission problems. The
steps from the 'Installation Guide' do not produce a running server:

tar xzvf puppet-2.6.4.tar.gz
cd puppet-2.6.4
ruby install.rb
cd /etc/puppet
puppet --genconfig > puppet.conf
mkdir -p /etc/puppet/manifests
cd /etc/puppet/manifests
cat <<EOF > site.pp
# site.pp
file { "/etc/sudoers":
    owner => root, group => root, mode => 440
}
EOF
puppetmasterd --mkusers
puppetmasterd


The puppetmasterd does not start. You have to start the creative part
with fixing permissions in /etc and var by hand. Then run into ssl
certs issues.  Does anyone have a "real" installation guide that
works?
