I've just tried it on my CentOS 5 machine, and it installed fine.
Have you got /usr/lib/libmagic.so.1?

I DO NOT have /usr/lib/libmagic.so.1 present.

Have you tried installing or updating the 'file' package?

yes, rpm -q file gives,

[root@centos-test ~]# rpm -q file
file-4.17-15.el5_3.1

Are you using any other external
repositories?
