When a package you want is missing, a good place to look is in the 
CentOS repositories. Like SL, it's built from RHEL sources, and it has 
some extra packages in supplementary "demanded" by users.

And then there's the EPEL (I think, but I don't recall what it stands 
for - maybe it's FPEL) folk who're building Fedora packages for EL.
