Almost certainly, the redhat package wasn't built with matching infiniband support and so we aren't picking it up. I'd suggest downloading the latest 1.7.4 or 1.7.5 nightly tarball, or even the latest 1.6 tarball if you want the stable release, and build it yourself so you *know* it was built for your system.
