I tried to install Google Chrome and received the dependencies
error.  Is Centos too old for the new Chrome or is there an older
Chrome version that is compatible?

You need CentOS 6 or Fedora 14 to run Google Chrome :-)

Some people reported successful installation of Chrome on CentOS-5 in
this forum thread (see note #15):

Hi

I use the Chromium build from:

http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~cxs548/chrome

The highest Chromium rev you can run with the RHEL5.x flash-plugin chrome-0.0.612.0.tar.gz is v10.  chrome-11 is incompatible with flash-plugin-10.2152.27-0.1.el5.rf.  Looks like flash-plugin_10.2.153.1-0.1.el5.rf is availble now, so v11 might be OK.  It seems like the Chromium build leads flashplugin by one version, but i haven't been actively upgrading as each becoms available.

You can use this repo.  Made by someone on the forums, I
believe his name is Mr. Kamei, but I could be wrong about the name

He's made binaries that work. Chromium itself doesn't and won't support
CentOS/RH/OLE 5.5

Xander: So, Buffy, how'd the slaying go last night?
Buffy: Xander!
Xander: I mean, how'd the laying go? No, I don't mean that either.

For what its worth, I use that chromium on my CentOS 5.x x86_64 desktop.

Chrome depends on a few newer packages than exist in 5.5. I'm guessing
centos 6 will have updated packages which will allow Chrome to install.

Judging from Scientific Linux 6.0, this seems to be the case, installed
without problem or any special effort.
