Installing mongrel2 on rhel6 beta2

Red Hat Enterprise Linux beta has been out for a while now and one very cool feature of the new RHEL is that it brings some pretty minimal "installation profiles", meaning that you don't end up with two thousand packages when you install a "server" machine.
It appears Red Hat finally have decoupled the packages properly, so it does not pull things like gnome when you want to do a clean server-only install.

For this post I used the minimal profile that is VERY minimal. It does not even bring perl by default, only ~225 packages total.

We will start by installing the following packages that are needed later for the different parts of a mongrel deployment.

yum install libuuid-devel gcc make gcc-c++ libstdc++-devel glib2-devel sqlite-devel python-devel git wget rpm-build python-setuptools
yum groupinstall "Development tools"

It is assumed you are logged in as a non privileged user that has full sudo access.

1. Install zeromq 2.0.7 (If you have already zeromq installed skip to step 2)
# Download zeromq-2.0.7.tar.gz

wget http://www.zeromq.org/local--files/area:download/zeromq-2.0.7.tar.gz

# Untar the archive

tar xf zeromq-2.0.7.tar.gz

# Get the following patch
