A special note about CentOS: CentOS is an enterprise-oriented distribution and is known to be ‘behind the times’ when it comes to their support for gaming and video/audio libraries. As an example, Osmos calls for libvorbis v1.2.0 (which is by no means recent, dating back to 2007). Unfortunately, as of the time of Osmos release in April 2010, the latest version of CentOS (5.4) has a libvorbis version of 1.1.2, and so the .rpm will report that it can’t install. So, to install Osmos on CentOS, you’d do best to grab the .tar.gz and manually build any missing libraries.
