There is a community wiki for the AMD Catalyst drivers with the steps listed 
here:
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Scientific_Linux#Scientific_Linux_6x

The relevant line is:
yum -y install gcc freetype kernel-devel zlib libgcc libstdc++ fontconfig rpm-
build

Elrepo also maintains a fairly recent package of Catalyst which is more 
convenient to use than the driver build package (neither is hard, though).

If you have a customized kernel you may have better luck with AMD's driver 
building package.
