user3029: I am trying to setup a Drupal e-commerce solution with a payment gateway of accepting Bitcoins during checkout, but I need a bitcoin daemon installed. How do I go about installing the Bitcoin daemon in my CentOS installation?
Is there a step-by-step guide on what I need to type to install this? It would be great if it can be installed via a package manager in CentOS. apt-get doesn't seem to work for me.

user3381: You can also try this setup, by another fellow StackExchange member.
Or you might want to take the easier route and use a Bitcoin Payment Gateway.

user4358: I host two bitcoind RPMs (i686, x86_64) on my website which will most likely work fine for you, as they're built for CentOS 6.4. Run this command to install bitcoind :
rpm -ivh http://tvdw.eu/bitcoin-0.8.1-1.el6.`uname -m`.rpm

If you want to download them manually, the files are:
i686:   http://tvdw.eu/bitcoin-0.8.1-1.el6.i686.rpm
MD5:    5be52618594a3eaded19052197c2f6ed

x86_64: http://tvdw.eu/bitcoin-0.8.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
MD5:    49ba4acbf9744e96bf12342888bc347a

The packages are unsigned, so install these at your own risk (aka: some level of trust is required here).
[Edit] This is the bitcoin.spec file I use to build these packages :

Release:        1%{?dist}

There's no actual compilation involved, it just puts the files in the right locations and wraps it in a nice little RPM.
